EUR/USD Analysis

Neither of the closest key support and resistance levels has been touched yet this week. As expected, we did get an upwards move yesterday, but it stalled pretty quickly and the price fell rapidly. We still have the bottom below us but it is now looking in danger. The more likely development now is a test of 1.3325. It is possible to look for a long here, but be extremely cautious.

EURUSD 81414

There are no high-impact data releases due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there are Unemployment Claims data due at 1:30pm London time. Therefore it is likely that we will have a quiet London session before New York opens, when things should get livelier.
