EUR/USD Analysis
Following six days of very quiet, sideways action, this pair came alive last Thursday following a news release. The price plummeted down below the support at 1.3555 eventually reaching a low just above 1.3500, but quickly rebounded to rise with some sharpness. The NFP on Friday caused more movement but it was ultimately sideways movement, and the price stabilized at around 1.3650.
As the price only spent about an hour or so below 1.3555 we can still see this support as valid, but it would be best to treat it as a zone rather than a level, from 1.3500 to 1.3555.
Bias is broadly bearish, but the price action is suggesting that we may have bottomed out, at least for a while. The rate of fall in the EUR price has been slowing over recent weeks and days. It would seem the most likely short-term move is upwards.
There are no high-impact news events scheduled for today concerning either the EUR or the USD. It is likely to be a very quiet day for this pair, particularly as it is also a public holiday in Germany, France and Switzerland.
