Support : 1,5570/ 1,5550/ 1,5510-20/ 1,5465-75

Comment : Euro seems to be forming a base at the important midterm support of 1,5500, levels where bulls should start gaining momentum, if the basic upward trend is still valid.
A clear upward candle in the daily chart, would give a technical buy sign and confirm the support levels. First resistance is found at 1,5600-20 and 1,5640-50, which is more important...A move above 1.5650 1,5650 will indicate that the move is likely to continue towards 1,5500 and a daily close above those levels could lead 1,5800-50 area, where our basic targets are found.
If the area of 1,5620 cannot be breached and the move is continued below 1.5500, it will be a sign of weakness. Last support regarding the upward move is found at 1,5460-70 and below this level a move to the base of 1.5300 or even lower will be possible.
Let’s not forget that we are facing a period of low liquidity and high volatility...
