EUR/USD Analysis

The support at 1.3625 did not prove to be particularly significant over the past few days. However the short-term uptrend has held and the bullish trend line that has been underpinning that has proved to be significant. It was predictive in foreshadowing the bullish breakout that we had recently beyond a bearish trend line. This trend line is not relevant any more so I have deleted it from the chart.

Although the price action is bullish and continues to be bullish, it is fairly congested and we have not printed any new significant support or resistance levels, or indeed hit any older ones. It might be that 1.3581 could act as local support, but it seems fairly weak, although it is confluent with a GMT S3 pivot point today.

The support at 1.3487 is intact, as is the resistance at 1.3687.

My colleague Christopher Lewis also sees resistance at around the 1.3700 level.

EURUSD 63014

At 10am London time there will be the release of the Eurozone CPI Flash Estimate which may affect the EUR. Later at 3pm there will be a release of US Pending Homes Sales data, which may affect the USD. It could be a livelier Monday than is typical for this day of the week.
