EUR/USD Analysis

My forecast was correct but delayed a day as the NFP results initially sent the pair down a little below the anticipated support at 1.0868 on Friday, which proved to be strong support, as the price quite quickly bounced back up by about 100 pips.

We can now draw a bullish trend line connecting the recent lows and of course above we still have a bearish trend line above 1.1000 that looks strong, so we are entering a familiar (for this pair) consolidating triangle formation.

It is quite likely to be a very quiet day today.
