EUR/USD Analysis
This pair is in a more interesting technical position now, having become established in a bearish channel as shown in the chart below. Additionally, a new potential resistance level sits not far above the current price, but I would not be looking for a short here just yet as it is too close to the current price as at the time of writing. Looking to the long term, this pair seems to have a bearish trend, although it really needs to break below the strong support close to 1.0800 to become truly bearish. However there are no key support levels above 1.0900 so the path of least resistance looks to be downwards.
Concerning the EUR, there will be a release of German IFO Business Climate data at 9am London time. There is nothing due regarding the USD.
