EUR/USD Analysis

I had thought that yesterday would see an upwards move and so it proved to be. The price has risen again over the past few hours, and this kind of impulse emerging in the middle of the Asian session is unusual.

It looks as if we are going to see another upwards move today. All the action is bullish. The question is where might that move fall apart and one answer is the key resistance at 1.1234 which has proved to be very strong. If the price breaks above that it is a bullish sign for this pair that the short-term bullish trend will probably continue. There is also a chance of a double top forming a little lower, at about 1.1220 where the previous big swing high sits.

There is no long-term trend so always be prepared for choppy action here.EURUSD
