EURUSDThe pair is trading near support for the bullish channel which is ascending towards 1.3145, while SMA 50 supports this channel. This support’s stance encourages us to expect a bullish intraday trend; targeting once again pivotal resistance 1.3250 in an attempt to breach and head towards 1.3400 as the next initial target. Keep in mind that the breach of 1.3115 will weaken chances of achieving the expected ascend for today and lead to a direct downside towards levels below 1.3000.

The positive momentum, alongside this pattern, are factors that make us expect a bullish intraday direction that requires two main factors to achieve it; first, a clear breach of 86.35, second is trading above 85.70.

In overall, we can expect to witness a bearish intraday directionthat initially targets attacking 1.0395 and then paved the way towards the next target at 1.0280, but keep in mind the importance of stabilizing below 1.0560 to insure chances of these expectations.

We recommend being careful in trading today, where vital Canadian data is expected today as of 11:00 GMT, followed by unemployment data from the US.
