  • EUR/USD looks north with the daily chart reporting a triangle breakout. 
  • The daily chart MACD is about to turn bullish. 
  • The pair eyes a break above the lower high of 11349 created on June 23.

EUR/USD bounced 0.5% on Wednesday, reversing the decline seen on Tuesday and reinforcing the ascending triangle breakout confirmed by Monday’s close at 1.1309.
