EUR/USD Analysis
I thought yesterday that new support had formed at the round number of 1.0900 or very close to it. In fact the support there was not meaningful and the price has been messed around so it can be removed as a level from the chart. We remain consolidating within the 1.0800 to 1.1000. It is hard to say what will happen next but it is looking more and more as if the breakout will eventually be upwards beyond 1.1000. However there is a lot of resistance above this level.
There are much better opportunities elsewhere.
Concerning the EUR, the Minimum Bid Rate will be announced at 12:45pm London time followed by a press conference from the ECB at 1:30pm. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of Unemployment Claims data and the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index at 1:30pm.
