EUR/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the price would probably be limited by 1.1337 and 1.1400 and these levels in fact provided the high and low of the day almost to the pip! As expected, it was hard to take trades off either level as there wasn’t much room for the price to move. In any case, there was a long trade that was good for 20 or so pips, and it was possible to scalp off 1.1400 late in the New York session.

It will probably be a quiet day ahead of the FOMC release due later, so these levels are very likely to hold the price until we get close to that time, after London closes.
