What can we expect from EURUSD today?

EURUSD on Thursday dropped -0.63% to 1.0599. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising.

Updated daily direction for EURUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 1.05584 (S1).

Looking ahead today, we are looking at 1.0691 or 1.06564 (R1) as important resistance level while to the downside, the daily low of 1.0575 and 1.05584 (S1) as key support levels. EURUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below 1.0575 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that EURUSD is mixed as the current price action remain uncertain due to trader indecisiveness.
