EUR/USD Analysis
I had outlined in recent charts how, being very well established within a wide bearish channel, the price become established within a less steeply bearish inner channel. This structure can still be seen in the chart below.
Yesterday the price fell and finally reached that lower inner channel trend line, reversing and bouncing bullishly as forecast, giving a long trade opportunity.
The bearish trend line above is now very confluent with 1.0700 so this trend line, possibly in conjunction with that round number, should offer good resistance today if reached.
Yesterday’s candle was a wide outside doji so the next direction is very hard to predict. A period of consolidation around 1.0625 would not be surprising.
There is nothing due today regarding the EUR or the USD. It is a public holiday today in the U.S.A.
