EUR/USD Signal Update
Yesterday’s Short Trade 1 signal was triggered and gave more profit than risk before turning around for a loss. I did not take this trade as the volatility was extremely low.

EUR/USD Analysis
Yesterday was another quiet day, although it had a wider range than Monday and Tuesday. The bias was slightly bullish as USD strength tapered off somewhat, although the recent EUR strength also fell yesterday.
In any case the market is awaiting a series of major news releases later today and tomorrow that should affect the price markedly. Before then, little should happen.
There are very high-impact data releases scheduled today concerning both the EUR and the USD. Regarding the EUR, the Minimum Bid Rate will be announced at 12:45pm London time, followed by an ECB Press Conference at 1:30pm. Concerning the USD, there will be the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm, followed by Trade Balance and Unemployment Claims at 1:30pm, and then finally ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI at 3pm. It should be a very volatile day, especially if there are any surprises.
