EURUSD: 1.2212
EurUsd has chopped sideways since taking out stops in Asia yesterday, confined pretty much to a 1.2200/80 range through the Europe/US sessions but closing near the lows as US bond yields climber higher, putting a bid tone under the dollar.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: NeutralDaily
Indicators: UpWeekly
Indicators: Turning higher
Preferred Strategy: A neutral stance seems wise right now although the longer term charts do still point to higher levels ahead. Good offers will arrive in the 1.2280/1.2320 area while a break below 1.2195 would open the way towards 1.2140. ECB/Buba speeches and the US Housing data will largely provide the direction today along with any directional move in bond markets.
