EUR/USD Analysis

The pair remains stick between 1.0700 / 1.0800 and 1.1000 as it has been for some time. On Thursday we had a move up to 1.0965 and this was enough to send the price plummeting. Looking at the chart below we can see that the price is forming some kind of consolidating triangle although the lower edge does not look symmetrical enough so I feel a sustained break down below support is more likely than the price holding up above 1.1000 which has been really key resistance for several weeks now. We also have a few trend lines up there between 1.0950 and 1.1000 so I would be prepared to look for new short trades as soon as the price gets up to 1.0960 again.

EURUSD
