EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that we are forming a consolidating triangle and over the past 24 hours we have remained within this triangle. The price continued to fall yesterday following its bounce off the resistance I had identified at 1.2562, although the price has been recovering a little over the past few hours.
The pair is still in a strong downwards trend although this has been weakening. We have been forming an ascending channel since last Friday.
There have been no serious technical changes since yesterday and price action rejections of the key levels and trend lines should produce high-probability trades.
There are high-impact news releases scheduled today likely to affect both the EUR and the USD. At 10am London time there will be a release of German ZEW Economic Sentiment data, which is likely to affect the EUR. Later at 1:30pm there will a release of U.S. PPI data, which will probably affect the USD.
