EUR/USD attempting to establish direction around key resistance
EUR/USD sold off sharply from the $1.1720 region on Friday, with the pair shifting away from a crucial area of resistance. The ability to break through the $1.1746-$1.1790 resistance zone is key in determining whether we are set for a bullish breakout or not.
With the price having turned back towards the $1.1609 swing low, watch for a break below that level as a means to ease back on the recent bullish charge. Alternatively, a failure to break below means that there is a strong likeliness of another push higher to continue the recent recovery.
