EURUSD: Neutral

Jim Langlands FX Charts

EURUSD: 1.1193

Intraday momentum indicators (1 hour/4 hour): Mildly Bullish
Daily momentum indicators: Mildly bearish but possibly turning neutral
Upcoming market moving events: The IFO and US Durable Goods Orders will be the main events alongside ECB Governor, Mario Draghi who will be speaking later in the day at an ECB forum in Portugal.

Preferred 24-hour Strategy: As before, I prefer to sell rallies above 1.1200 with a tight SL above 1.1230, looking for a move to 1.1110 and eventually to 1.1060/70. Overall, further rangebound trade seems likely but a soft Durable Goods Orders reading may see dollar bulls head for the exit if further rate hikes look likely to be delayed.
