EUR/USD Analysis

The price rose yesterday but did not quite reach 1.1068, although it did peak about 10 pips short of that level. At the time of writing, there are signs that the price is finding support a little way above the trend line highlighted in the chart below.

It is quite likely that today will be quiet as the ECB are giving their monthly report tomorrow and there will be a great deal of focus on what they have to say and it will probably have a big impact upon the Euro, so it might be better to focus on short-term trades today or else prepare to be blown away by volatility tomorrow.

There is nothing due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
