EUR/USD Signal Update
Last Thursday’s signals produced a very profitable long trade following the bullish outside candle’s bullish reversal from the anticipated support at 1.0550. If profits are still floating it is probably a good idea to move the stop up to under the support zone at around 1.0800 at least.

EUR/USD Analysis
There was a big change in the market last Thursday caused by the ECB not acting to extend QE as far as the market expected. This had the effect of pushing up the value of the Euro significantly from the double bottom at the key support of around 1.0550. The big question now is whether the value is going to hold up.
There are two significant areas to watch right now: the area at around 1.0830 has acted as key highs and lows over previous weeks, and this is the area at which the price paused in its sharp upwards move last Thursday. It looks very much as if the price will fall back into this area and it may well bounce up quite strongly from here, even if only temporarily.
The other area to watch is the big round number at 1.1000 which is also quite confluent with last week’s high at around 1.0980 as well as the 50% retracement of the last large downwards leg.
There is nothing due today regarding the EUR or the USD.
