EUR/USD Analysis

Yesterday’s FOMC was bearish for the USD and therefore this pair rallied quite healthily following the release, with the EUR one of the strongest movers against the USD. It continued to rise overnight but this rise was halted by the formation of a new, fairly short-term bearish trend line shown on the chart below. I will wait for another day to see if it holds before signalling short trades off that line. This signifies that the pair may well have reached a short-term peak and might now fall back towards the 1.1000 area. Action is likely to be somewhat choppy, inconclusive and hard to trade.

EURUSD Forex signal

There is nothing due concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed by Existing Home Sales and the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index at 3pm.
