EUR/USD Open 1.3035 High 1.3198 Low 1.3024 Close 1.3045

On Wednesday Euro/Dollar decreased with 170 pips on discouraging ECB tender after the morning lift. The European currency depreciated from 1.3198 to 1.3024 yesterday, not matching the positive Interbank sentiment projection at over +10%, closing the day at 1.3045. This morning the Euro is trading quietly, and at the lower end of yesterday's range for now. On the 1 hour chart the downward channel is on hold, while on the 3 hour the downward channel is hanging too. Break above the nearest resistance and yesterday's top at 1.3198 may trigger further strengthening of the Euro. Going bellow yesterday's bottom and first support at 1.3024, however, would confirm continuation of the bearish trend, towards next objective downwards 1.2900. Today's focus is on Italy Retail sales at 9 GMT. Quotes are moving just bellow the crossed 20 and 50 EMA on the 1 hour chart, indicating slim bearish pressure. The value of the RSI indicator is neutral and inclining upwards, MACD is thinly negative and quiet, while CCI has thinly crossed down the 100 line on the 1 hour chart, giving overall all neutral signals.
