EUR/USD Forex Signal – 5/18/2016

EUR/USD Signal Update

Yesterday's signals gave a profitable short trade following the rejection of the resistance level at 1.1340. As the price at the time of writing is at a key previous swing low and also close to a key support level, it would make sense to take some more profit on any open trade from there.

  • EUR/USD Analysis

    The action over the previous day has been bearish, although we are now close to a key support level. The USD has been strengthening ahead of the FOMC Meeting Minutes due later today. It would be logical to assume that the key support at 1.1273 will hold at least until the time of that release, unless the market is gripped by a strong rumor about the contents beforehand.

    There are no high-impact events due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time, followed later at 7pm by the FOMC Meeting Minutes.
