It isn't surprising to see EUR/USD bounce from its first test of parity, with the pair moving higher immediately after touching 1.000.
Given the immense psychological significance of this level, there was likely an abundance of buy limit orders that ended up getting filled. That being said, a number of traders have also probably placed their stop-loss or sell orders just below, which could trigger a sharp decline if this level is breached.
All trading carries risk, but with US CPI figures out on Wednesday, it will be interesting to see if we get another test of parity, or if EUR/USD can sustain a slightly larger bounce.
