Daily Euro Currency Technical Analysis (EUR/USD)
As mentioned above the above EUR/USD price chart has formed an indecisive candlestick pattern as Forex traders are not willing to jump in and take large position ahead of the American Thanksgiving Day holiday, which is Thursday. As long as this key Forex market trades within the range 1.18 to 1.1905, the outlook will remain neutral.
With that said, a daily close above 1.1905 will open the door for the bulls to enter this currency exchange rate. The next upside barrier would then line up at 1.2010 with 1.2012 coming into play as well.
A daily close below the downside barrier ay 1.18 will bring the bears into the EUR/USD exchange rate. In this scenario the next downside barrier lines up at the 4 November low price point at 1.1602.
