EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Remains capped below August swing highs ahead of US retail sales

   “¢   The pair this week witnessed multiple bullish breakouts through a short-term descending trend-line and a two-week-old trading range.

   “¢   A subsequent move beyond 100-day SMA, for the first time since late-April, and positive technical indicators reinforced the bullish set-up.

   “¢   Despite the positive momentum, the pair remained capped below the August swing high level of 1.1734 in absence of any fresh catalyst.

   “¢   The release of the US monthly retail sales data will now be looked upon for some fresh impetus and some meaningful trading opportunities.
