EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Clings to gains above 1.1600 handle post-US CPI, Draghi in focus

   “¢   The pair built on overnight bullish move beyond a short-term descending trend-line hurdle but remained within a broader trading range held over the past two weeks.

   “¢   Unimpressive ECB monetary policy statement did little to provide any impetus, though the up-move was supported by softer US CPI figures for the month of August.  

   “¢   Neutral Technical indicators on the 4-hourly chart have failed to support any firm directional bias, suggesting an extension of the range-bound trading action.

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a decisive break through the broader trading range before investors start positioning for the pair’s next leg of directional move.
