EUR/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that it was likely to be a quiet day, and it was. There has been no real change. Yesterday we saw some indication of bullishness with a small upwards move that ended quite quickly with new flipped support to resistance at 1.1340 which is a bearish sign. Additionally, this morning the Euro looks weaker. A strong move up once London opens will probably be a bullish sign. There is still a long-term bullish trend, but the short-term signs are bearish, so it is a mixed picture.

EURUSD

There are no high-impact events due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of CPI and Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
