EUR/USD Analysis
Yesterday I had a bearish bias. Although the price did fall initially, seeming to print new resistance at 1.2220, it then turned around to rise and invalidate that level. What was important from a technical perspective though was that the price never even reached the psychological level of 1.2250, let along the higher key resistance level just above that at 1.2260. The price has fallen again during the Asian session and looks like it is heading lower. The technical picture and 3-month price trend are both bearish. There are no key support levels above 1.2005. The round number at 1.2200 acted as a floor yesterday, with the price making a couple of downwards stabs which were quickly rejected below that. So, it looks as if the price will fall today, but 1.2200 should be watched as it might turn out to become a double bottom. Nevertheless, I have a bearish bias.
There is nothing due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm London time.
