Key Quotes:
“The common currency fluctuated within minor gains and losses ever since the day started, mostly led by stocks’ movements, as little macroeconomic data hit the wires. Early in the morning, the EU industrial production was up by 0.6% in October, compared to a month before, and increased by 1.09% yearly basis. There was no news coming from the US, but treasury yields are higher, partially recovering their latest losses and ahead of the FED economic policy decision this Wednesday.
While not solid, the EUR/USD pair continues to be biased higher, as the pair remains near the fresh 1-month high above mentioned. Short term, the 1 hour chart presents a positive tone, as the technical indicators stand above their mid-lines, albeit lacking directional strength.
In the 4 hours chart, the pair managed to advance beyond a bullish 20 SMA, while the technical indicators have lost their upward strength in positive territory. More relevant, the pair is now above the 50% retracement of the October high/December low decline at 1.1000, an immediate short term support for the upcoming hours.”
