Technical Market Outlook

The EUR/USD pair volatility has increased ahead of ECB interest rate decision today. It is quite clear on the H4 time frame chart that the market tries to break out from the narrow range located between the levels of 1.1258 - 1.1332. This zone is right in the middle of the channel as well. Please keep an eye on the level of 1.1258, this is the line in sand for bulls in the short-term. Any violation of this level would likely result in a sell-off acceleration towards the level of 1.1228 and 1.1185 again. Only a sustained breakout above the 1.1332 - 1.1375, key short-term supply zone, would have change the outlook to more bullish the nearest future.
