EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that as there was a cluster of three support levels close below the current price, and the short-term action was bullish, it seems quite probable that the price would rise today. If the price was rising by 9am London time and holding above 1.1400 I was ready to take a bullish bias until 1.1445 at least. This was a good call as the price rose firmly into the London session. The situation still looks bullish, as the price is close to making a new 20-day high and over the short-term has flipped the former resistance level at 1.1445 to become new higher support. Therefore, I would again take a bullish bias today if the price is making new highs at 9am London time. The only case bears have is that 1.1500 may be a big psychological number and provide resistance to a further rise.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
