EUR/USD Analysis

Over the past few days this pair has started to look more bullish. The price is above its levels from both 1 month and 3 months ago, and a key indicative bearish trend line which could have capped a ranging price was broken to the upside at the end of last week.

We have had continually ascending trend lines for about 3 weeks now, which is also bullish, but watch out for a break down below the steepest supportive trend line. Of course, the trend line above at around 1.1410 is also quite likely to hold the price. These two trend lines will be key to watch in determining the likely next move.

It is probably going to be very slow after about 1pm London time as there is a holiday in the USA today, so it is quite probable both the trend lines will hold until the Asian session tonight at the earliest.

EURUSD

There are no high-impact releases due today concerning either the EUR or the USD. It is a public holiday today in the USA.
