EUR/USD Analysis

My identification of a short opportunity was correct, and the area close to 1.3155 was supportive for a while, but we have broken down through that level. The strong downwards trend in this pair continues, due primarily to the weakness of the EUR. The EUR has been the weakest currency over the past several months, and the USD has also been very strong. There is no end to the downwards trend in sight so a bearish bias should be maintained.

There is likely support below beginning at 1.3081, and of course the key psychological level further down at 1.3000. These are likely areas for the trend to pause or possibly reverse.

EURUSD 9114

There are no high-impact data releases scheduled for either the EUR or the USD. Therefore today is likely to be a very quiet day for this pair.
