FX.co ★ EUR/USD: bullish continuation above 1.0481

The EUR/USD pair climbed as much as 1.0496 where it found resistance. Now, it has retreated a little and is trying to test and retest the near-term support levels. It's located at 1.0451 at the time of writing.

On Friday, the German Final GDP came in better than expected, while the German Gfk Consumer Climate reported poor data. Today, the Eurozone Private Loans and M3 Money Supply came in worse than expected. Later, the ECB President Lagarde and FOMC members' speeches could bring more action. Tomorrow, the US CB Consumer Confidence is seen as a high-impact event.

EUR/USD Retests The Buyers!

Technically, the price registered only a false breakout through the 1.0481 former high and above the R1 (1.0480). Now, it challenges the 1.0448 static support. After escaping from the minor flag pattern, the rate was expected to grow.

After its strong growth, a temporary retreat is natural. It could only test and retest the near-term support levels before jumping higher.

EUR/USD Forecast!

A new higher high, a valid breakout through 1.0481 brings new long opportunities as EUR/USD could extend its growth. The R2 of 1.0580 represents an upside obstacle and target.
