EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Remains capped below a descending trend-line hurdle post-ECB

   •  The pair once again failed to make it through a short-term descending trend-line resistance, extending from highs touched in mid-May and June/July monthly tops. 

   •  Bulls, however, have managed to defend the 1.1700 handle after the ECB announced its latest monetary policy decision to leave interest rates unchanged. 

   •  A follow-through weakness below 200-period SMA on the 4-hourly chart will add credence to the rejection slide and pave the way for additional weakness.
