EURUSD: 1.1852
EurUsd is firm again today, after the solid EU PMI readings although the range has been tight because of the US holiday.
The 4 hour/daily momentum indicators are still pointing higher, and further gains look possible so buying dips is currently favoured. Further out though, the weeklies do still point lower so I would expect conditions to be choppy but with a near term upside bias.
If so, above the near term resistance at 1.1855/60 would find good sellers at 1.1880/85, beyond which would then allow a run towards 1.1900+, with little resistance then to be seen until 1.2000.
On the downside, minor support will today be seen at 1.1800/10 a break of which would allow a return to 1.1780/1.1800 ahead of stronger levels at 1.1735 although this looks unlikely to be seen heading into the weekend.
Preferred Strategy: For Friday, I prefer to adopt a fairly neutral stance given the US long weekend holiday, although buying dips may be a plan.
The German IFO will be the data risk today, while speeches from the ECB’s Constancio and Coeure.
