EUR/USD Technical Analysis: ECB headlines help defend ascending trend-channel support
|• The pair extended this week's rejection slide from a short-term ascending trend-channel resistance and was further weighed down by resurgent USD demand.
• Bulls now seemed struggling to defend the trend-channel support, which if broken decisively might negate prospects for any further up-move.
• The latest headlines about the ECB policymakers' split on the timing of the first rate hike lifts the shared currency and helps the pair to recover around 30-40 pips from session lows.
