EUR/USD Analysis

Yesterday I noted that the price had bounced up off the support at 1.3155, so we would probably fill the weekend gap to 1.3214. This has now happened, so the price is quite likely to fall from here if it cannot really penetrate above 1.3228. However there is some chance of a bullish breakout above 1.3228, although it is really more likely to happen on GBP/USD than on this pair.

If we get another retest of 1.3155, a long trade could be possible from that area.

EURUSD 82814

There are no high-impact data releases schedules for a specific time today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be Preliminary GDP and Unemployment Claims at 1:30pm London time, followed by Pending Home Sales at 3pm. Therefore the New York session is likely to be more active.
