EUR/USD Analysis
The USD came roaring back at the end of last week, and all the major USD pairs made new long-term highs. The EUR is stronger than most other currencies, but still, this pair was no exception. A few minutes ago we broke the support at 1.2275 that I had thought might give us a launching pad for a small long move today, so that level seems to be muddied now.
I do not see any good levels at which to get short before 1.2400 or long before 1.2133, and as today is likely to be a quiet day, it will probably be one of the days where there are just no really good medium-term trading opportunities.
The overall picture looks bearish.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today directly concerning either the EUR or the USD. It is likely to be a quiet day for this pair.
