EURUSD Chart by TradingView
What can we expect from EURUSD today?
EURUSD on Thursday dropped -0.37% to 1.10200. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising.
Updated daily direction for EURUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 1.09734 (S1).
Looking ahead today, to see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last daily high of 1.10917 or trades above daily pivot 1.10326. While to the downside, the daily low of 1.09860 and 1.09734 (S1) as immediate support levels. EURUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below 1.09860 would indicate selling pressure.
For the week to-date, take note that EURUSD is mixed as compared to prior week.
