EUR/USD Analysis
Yesterday the price fell to 1.3750 and then rose to make a failed retest of the broken bullish trend line, as well as the minor resistance at 1.3844 which I mentioned yesterday, which held. Overall there is not much direction and the price seems contained. Therefore there is little new to say since my analysis yesterday.
A candlestick analysis on the daily time frame shows the situation looking more bullish, with support holding at 1.3750.
There are no important data releases due for the EUR today. At 12:30pm London time there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders data for the USD.
