FXstreet.com (San Francisco) - Intraday price action set a new 7-week high for EUR/USD today, pushing above resistance at 1.2475 (61.8%, 1.2748/1.2042) and stalling just 10 pips shy of the 1.2500 psychological figure.

“While EUR/USD is likely to continue to squeeze higher during the run-up to the early-September ECB meeting, those gains are likely to be limited, and we remain oriented to re-establishing short EUR/USD exposure, but from higher levels,” comments the Royal Bank of Scotland.

If the upward momentum extends in the global day ahead, resistance lies at 1.2524 (100-day EMA), while support comes in at 1.2420 (21-hourly EMA).
