EUR/USD: Euro one of the main gainers from USD weakness
Yesterday’s signals produced a short trade from the bearish reversal at 1.0971 which is currently in a little floating profit. It is probably wise to exit from the remainder of this trade as soon as possible due to the bullish situation.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that we seemed to be set for more bullish price movement as the price was now trading firmly above the new higher support level at 1.0923. I was ready to take a long trade from a bullish bounce following a retracement to 1.0923, or a short trade from a strong bearish reversal at 1.1056.
This was an OK call as although the price has gone sideways over the past 24 hours, it is being held quite accurate by the nearest support and resistance levels, although the support has required adjustment down to 1.0921.
This consolidation over the past day is actually bullish, and the Euro is one of the major beneficiaries of the weakness that the market is seeing in the U.S. dollar this week.
As long as the price remains above 1.0921 the technical picture will remain firmly bullish, and even above 1.0887 it would be more bullish than bearish.
My approach today is to take a bullish bias and look for long trades from bounces at 1.0921 or 1.0887. If there is a strong upwards movement, it may be possible to make some short pips later from a bearish reversal at 1.1056 but be very cautious in taking any short trades.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
