EUR/USD

Analysis:

It is highly probable that the upward movement of the European currency from January 28 has given rise to a new wave in the main direction. The price has reached the resistance level of the large timeframe. Before the continuation of the uptrend, the wave level in the correction should be increased.

- 1.1470/1.1500

Support:

- 1.1400/1.1370
