EUR/USD Analysis

Yesterday was a strange day. Late in the ECB Press Conference the price climbed before falling off steadily to the London close, after which it again rose to regain its heights. We are seeing some bullishness and a break above the resistance that was located close to 1.0700.

The pair is really within a no-man’s-land now, without any clear levels nearby. It is very hard to say what will happen next as the shine seems to be coming off the USD which has fallen significantly against other major pairs.

We remain within a very wide bearish channel overall.

EURUSD 41615

There are high-impact events scheduled today concerning the USD but not the EUR. At 1:30pm London time there will be a release of Building Permits and Unemployment Claims data, followed later at 3pm by the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index.
