EUR/USD in recovery mode
EUR/USD's recovery from its over two year $1.0178 low is ongoing and once more has minor resistance between the $1.0333 to $1.0344 November and mid-December lows in its sights. Last week it capped as expected but this week it may give way to the $1.0436 to $1.0460 resistance area.
Minor support can still be seen around the $1.0225 early January low.

Support below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at £0.8420 can be found at the 9 January high at £0.8406 and further down between the mid-October, mid-to-late November highs at £0.8380 to £0.8364.
