Volatility stands […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Treading Water Through January The Euro has had a modestly positive start to January.

The Euro has gained ground against […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Softens The Euro initially tried to rally during the trading session on Monday, but then ran into a bit of trouble at the 1.11 handle.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Struggles At Major Round Figure The Euro broke higher during the trading session on Monday, breaking above the 1.12 level momentarily.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Stalls During The Session The Euro went back and forth during the trading session on Tuesday, as we continue to dance around the 1.11 level. This is an area that has been both support and resistance as of late, so don’t be surprised at all to see this market go back and […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) stuck in consolidation The Euro initially gapped higher to kick off the trading session on Monday, but then pulled back to test the crucial 1.10 level.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Volatility to Slow for Remainder of Week With the Thanksgiving holiday, it is like the markets will see a further slowing of volatility in the second half of the week.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) price consolidation The Euro has been somewhat lackluster during the trading session on Friday, going back and forth in very undecided mannerisms.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Approaches a Major Barrier Following a momentum-driven decline in the early part of the month, EUR/USD has gained some ground and is recovering on the back of some broad-based dollar weakness.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) showing signs of exhaustion The Euro initially tried to rally during the trading session on Thursday but struggled at the recent highs again, turning around to show signs of exhaustion.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Rally Stalls Last week EUR/USD rallied above an important technical resistance confluence that I’ve talked about in my last few daily forecasts.
