EUR/USD Analysis
Last Friday’s very positive Non-Farm Payrolls data sent this pair plummeting to a level just below 1.1050, but the price has recovered from there quickly and strongly. At the time of writing, it is testing the key level of 1.1105. Although this has been a pivotal point, the level a little further above at 1.1119 looks more crucial, so I would wait for a reversal there before considering entering a short trade.
For the first time in a long while, the price of this pair is below its levels from both three months ago and six months ago. For a major pair like EUR/USD this is a significant development and points to a long-term downwards trend, giving a bearish bias that can statistically be taken advantage of.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
