EUR/USD Analysis
I was expecting the price to rise yesterday after we had bounced up off the very long-term bullish trend line. Although the price did hold up for most of the day it eventually fell and retested the trend line overnight, where it produced another bullish bounce, albeit a small one.
If we are going to move up from here, two tests should probably be enough, so be very cautious about entering a long if we retest the trend line today. Nevertheless, as it is such a long-term trend line, it is worth an attempt at a long-term long trade.
There is resistance above at 1.2368.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today directly concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, at 1:30pm London time there will be releases of Core Durable Goods Orders and Final GDP data, followed by New Home Sales data at 3pm. This pair is more likely to be more active during the New York session than the London session.
