EUR/USD Analysis

I had been forecasting that 1.1450 was likely to be key resistance and it has now become clear that the short-term upwards trend is over as we descend with relative rapidity from that level. At the time of writing it seems that the London Open is breaking the support at 1.1277 down, which opens the way down to a further move to 1.1200. The short-term future is uncertain, but if we spend today bouncing between 1.1200 and 1.1275 or thereabouts it would not be a surprise.

There are high-impact news releases scheduled today concerning both the USD and the EUR. Concerning the EUR, there will be a release of German ZEW Economic Sentiment data at 10:00am London time. Regarding the USD, there will be a release later of U.S. Building Permits data at 1:30pm.
