EUR/USD Analysis
It had been looking as if this pair reversed significantly at the trend line at around the key psychological level at 1.1000. The reversal happened again yesterday after another re-test. However the Euro is behaving somewhat bullishly and at the time of writing is testing 1.1000 again.
If the price manages to break clearly above 1.1040, that would be a surprising and very bullish sign. It is more likely we will get some stabs up above 1.1000 this morning that are just going to be selling opportunities.
There are no high-impact events scheduled today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, at 12:30pm London time there will be a release of U.S. Unemployment Claims data.
