EURUSD: 1.1766
€/Usd has traded a little higher in a tight session for much of Monday (1.1763/1.1811) before giving up the gains late in the day, while waiting on the upcoming FOMC/ ECB meetings, with much of the action coming through the crosses, where EurJpy and EurGbp were prominent drivers. As before, the 4 hour/daily momentum indicators are mixed and a neutral stance is required as we head towards the Fed and ECB Meetings, due Wed/Thur.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: Turning higher
Daily Indicators: Turning lower
Weekly Indicators: Neutral
Preferred Strategy: The short term momentum indicators look mixed and I remain fairly neutral although the daily charts do appear to be turning a little lower and may be hinting of further dollar strength ahead. The ZEW is the main focus today and the 4 hour charts look mildly constructive, so look for a range of 1.1740/1.1820 to cover it today.
