EUR/USD Analysis

The bullishness continued, although there was no real opportunity for any technical long entries even down to the H1 time frame. The price just kept rising. The best opportunity in hindsight was the pullback to the small trend line just after London open.

In any case one of the trend lines has been invalidated by the rising price, as has the level at 1.1500 which initially looked as if it would provide a bearish reversal, but then failed to follow through.

There is resistance above but it is worthwhile to be careful taking any shorts in this environment.

EURUSD

There are no high-impact events due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
