EUR/USD Analysis
Yesterday’s big story was the strengthening of the JPY and the weakening of the GBP, although the GBP’s 9 month bullish trend line did hold. None of this affected EUR/USD much, and it had a quiet Monday, falling slightly. It is still above its long-term bullish trend line and the 200 EMA on the D1, H4 and H1 charts. The resistance zone starting at 1.3715 is quite confluent with today’s R2 daily pivot point.
There is no important news due today for the EUR. Concerning the USD, there are two news releases due at 1:30pm London time (Core Retail Sales / Retail Sales) so there is likely to be more movement during the New York session than the London session.
