EUR/USD Analysis

The strong downwards trend is still continuing. The USD and the EUR are respectively the strongest and weakest currencies right now, with the exception of the JPY which is arguably weaker than the EUR.

However very early this morning, the price bounced off the support level I identified in yesterday’s forecast at 1.3155. It would not be surprising if we now have a bullish pull back to the area above 1.3214, filling the weekend gap.

Once we get that high, the price is quite likely to fall again.

I do not want to risk a long from another retest of 1.3155, but that would be a logical area for a long trade.

EURUSD 82614

There are no high-impact data releases due today concerning either the EUR or the USD, so it likely to be a quiet day.
