EUR/USD Analysis
Last week closed up as a bullish engulfing candle, the first that there has been for some time. Although this might be an early indication that a move up is beginning, and we have breached a key bearish trend line, we have so far been unable to break above the psychologically key level of 1.2500. When happens at the next serious test of this level is quite likely to determine the direction for the rest of this week.
The support levels below looked minor but developed as very strong and clear flips, so I think they are more significant than they appear. If we hit 1.2361 before 1.2500, it is quite likely to give a bullish impetus for another attempt at 1.2500 so that could be a nice long trade.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today directly concerning either the EUR or the USD. It will probably be a quiet day today for this pair.
