EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that we are stuck in a narrowing triangle with a bullish inner trend line. Yesterday, the triangle and all the trend lines held almost perfectly. We will almost certainly get a breakout today. I would expect a bullish break out to be more likely and more reliable than a bearish one. However a break of the inner trend line should lead to a fall down to the outer bullish trend line which is currently at about 1.3525.
There are no significant price levels near us before 1.3487 and 1.3687. The lower level is far away enough to be worth a touch trade but a bullish breakout leading to 1.3687 should be shorted at that level with caution, i.e. only after bearish price action has printed.
The best way to trade any trend line breakouts is to wait for a pull back to the broken trend line and a failed retest, signifying a resumption of the direction of the breakout.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled for today that are expected to directly affect the EUR. Later at 1:30pm London time there will be a release of US Core Durable Goods Orders and Final GDP data, which may affect the USD. It might be a quiet morning for this pair.
