EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that “this is one of the most strongly trending currency pairs and so it is probably a good idea to maintain a bullish bias and to generally look to try to get long…The Chair of the Fed will be speaking later today and her remarks might move the USD quite a bit in this febrile market environment so watch out for that.” That turned out to be good advice, as Yellen's remark's sent this pair plunging, down below both of the support levels above 1.1200 I had outlined, before it reversed sharply and came back to touch the resistance at 1.1315 again during the Asian session.
The chart below shows how we have a double bottom at 1.1162 which has now become new key support, and also a double top at 1.1315, so we are between those two levels. There are no more key resistance levels before the psychologically key number of 1.1500, so a bullish break up could see faster upwards movement.
