EUR/USD
Current level-1.4343
EUR/USD is in a downtrend, after peaking at1.5146 (Nov.25,2009). Technical indicators are neutral, and trading is situated between the 50- and 200-Day SMA, currently projected at 1.4793 and 1.4169.
While 1.4257 is intact, the overall bias will remain neutral in the 1.4216-1.4500 range. Nevertheless we feel, that there is a chance for one last upswing to 1.4670 resistance, as the pair will try to gather momentum for the next leg downwards. The intraday bias is positive and a break above 1.4401 will set the focus on 1.4501, en route to 1.4670.

Although the pair dipped to 1.5944 we continue to expect one more upswing to 1.6410, so stay tuned for a clear break above 1.6070 resistance area, that shall clear the road towards 1.6410. Intraday bias is neutral and while the pair holds below 1.6070, the outlook on the 1 h. chart will remain bearish.
