EUR/USD Analysis

The last two days of last week saw a moderately strong upwards move, bringing us back up close to the upper trend line of the bearish channel we are still established within. The durability of the channel makes me look for shorts provided we can get a rejection off both the support/resistance flip at 1.3642 and the upper trend line at exactly the same moment. A breakout above this trend line will be a bullish sign.

Below us, we had resistance at 1.3551 turn into support after the first strong push up on Thursday. If the price will fall back there fairly quickly, we should get a bounce up so I am looking for a long trade there.

We are in an uptrend within a longer-term down trend. However the move up began just a little below a level I expected to be very supportive, so it would not surprise me if we were to break out of this bearish channel.

EURUSD Signal 21014

There is no important news due today for either the EUR or the USD, so it is likely to be a quiet day.
