EUR/USD Levels to watch
Technical indicators show no clear signals in the short-term, as the pair continues to move sideways. Low volume is expected for the rest of the session that should contribute to keep the price in the 1.1310-1.1360 range.
In the short-term, if the euro rises above 1.1360 it would gain momentum for an extension for a potential test of 1.1400. The critical level to watch continues to be 1.1420 that capped the upside yesterday and also last week. Above 1.1420 the technical outlook would favor more gains. A firm slide below 1.1310, would clear the way for a test o f1.1300. Below that level, support is seen at 1.1275 and 1.1260.
