EUR/USD Current price: 1.3464
View Live Chart for the EUR/USDThe EUR/USD consolidates its latest losses, trading in a tight 20 pips range below former year low of 1.3476, level that capped the upside so far today. With no fundamental data to lead the way, EU consumer confidence and US crude stocks may bring some action later today, albeit seems we are going nowhere far. Technically, the bearish bias remains favored with price hovering around a bearish 20 SMA and indicators turning lower around their midlines.

In the 4 hours chart however, indicators present a neutral stance, which should limit slides. Stocks trading higher in Europe and US futures also up, will likely contain the downside, albeit some follow through above 101.60 is required to confirm a bullish move ahead.
