Key Quotes

“EUR/USD is currently sidelined and possibly basing, but so far remains capped by the near term resistance line at 1.1742. For now we will assume while below 1.1790, a downside bias remains, however the market is fairly neutral currently. Attention stays on the 1.1510/08 recent lows and below here lies the 200 week ma at 1.1379”.

“A recovery above 1.1790 will target 1.1855. Above 1.1855 we look for a deeper retracement to the 1.1937 55 week ma, with scope for the 1.1981 200 day ma, where we suspect that it will fail”.
