EUR/USD Analysis

Very little of interest happened yesterday and there has not been any substantial chance from yesterday’s analysis. There was not a lot of movement and the picture is still mixed, although we had a small move upwards which seems in danger of being wiped out this morning as the London session opens.

We should get some more volatility today. Long-term, a bullish bias makes sense, but we still have a bearish gap above us at 1.3861 that has acted as flipped resistance, and could therefore provide a good opportunity for a short trade. Below us there are support levels and a good long-term bullish trend line that is now close to the level at 1.3751.

Everything today should be confirmed by price action on the H1 chart before any decisions are taken.
EURUSD Signal

At 8:30am London time there is German Flash Manufacturing PMI data that may affect the EUR. Later at 3pm London time there will be a release of New Homes Sales data that may affect the USD. As we have some news and the pair has been quiet recently, we should expect some more volatility today.
