How to Trade EUR/USD
EUR/USD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Overall, EUR/USD stays in an ascending channel. It has been in a 1.0613 -1.0805 vary for six weeks and these ranges could present help and resistance respectively.
The 21-and 34-day easy transferring averages (SMA) lie close to a breakpoint of 1.0770 and may provide resistance.
On the draw back, close by help may lie on the earlier lows at 1.0483 and 1.0443. The latter is being dissected by the 100- and 260-day SMAs and should lend help.
