EURUSD: 1.1932
EurUsd soared higher on Friday in taking advantage of the solid data from the EU and it finished near session highs of 1.1943 in thin conditions after having taken out the important 1.1880 resistance.
The Euro looks solid again on Monday, with both the 4 hour/daily momentum indicators pointing higher, and above Friday’s high would see little resistance until 1.2000. Beyond this would open the way to 1.2030/50 and even on towards the 8 Sept low at 1.2096.
On the downside, minor support will be seen at 1.1900/15 today, below which could head back to 1.1880 although this currently looks unlikely.
Preferred Strategy: For Monday, I prefer to adopt a fairly neutral stance although buying dips may be a plan as it looks as though we are headed to 1.2000.
Buy EurUsd @ 1.1900. SL @ 1.1870, TP @ 1.1990
