EUR/USD
Current level-1.4901
EUR/USD is in a broad consolidation, after bottoming at 1.2331 (Oct.28,2008). Technical indicators are neutral, and trading is situated above the 50- and 200-Day SMA, currently projected at 1.4793 and 1.3523.
The overall bias here is neutral with a slightly bearish pressure while the 1.4796 support is still on test. Intraday resistance comes at 1.4972 and is likely to be tested before the beginning of the U.S. trading session, but only a clear break above 1.5015 will set the focus back on new highs, beyond 1.5063.
