EUR/USD Analysis
We remain stuck within the narrowing triangle for yet another day. A bearish breakout is more widely expected and suggested by the chart, but there is room for an upwards break to reach close to 1.1500 too as there is plenty of blue sky just above the triangle. Therefore a breakout either side can be traded, but a bearish breakout will probably travel further.
There are high impact events concerning both the EUR and the USD today. Regarding the USD, at 3pm London time there will be a release of U.S. New Home Sales data and the Chair of the Federal Reserve will begin her testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. Later at 4:30pm, the President of the ECB will be presenting the ECB’s Annual Report.
