What can we expect from EURUSD today?

EURUSD on Wednesday dropped -0.29% to 1.08137. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling.

Updated daily direction for EURUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 1.07765 (S1).

Looking ahead today, to see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last daily high of 1.08874 or trades above daily pivot 1.08319. Break above could target R1 at 1.08692. While to the downside, we are looking at 1.07765 (S1) and daily low of 1.07947 as support levels. EURUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below 1.07947 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that EURUSD is mixed as compared to the prior week.

EURUSD ended month of January trading session down by -2.03% or -223.7 pips lower.
