EURUSD: 1.1792
€/Usd has traded a choppy range of 1.1860/1.1770 on Thursday, after the ECB left rates on hold, with Draghi’s upbeat Press Conference sending the Euro briefly to its highs before the dollar strengthened after the strong RS/jobs data, closing at familiar territory, just under 1.1800.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: Turning higher
Daily Indicators: Turning lower
Weekly Indicators: Neutral
Preferred Strategy: With little data due today, and with the momentum indicators offering little help in either direction, a rangebound session seems most likely. Use 1.1740/1.1830 as a guide. Further out, the weeklies still suggest we could see a stronger dollar at some stage, but don’t get too excited yet.
