Action is going on in stocks markets rather than among currencies that shown little progress over the last sessions: European markets stand at 5 years highs while US indexes soared yesterday and point for another day of gains. Expectations among investors are that the FED will maintain its massive stimulus which keeps the strong demand on high yielders, and does little for the greenback at the end.
Nevertheless, the EUR/USD stands close to the 1.3732 6 day low reached early Europe, having reached a high of 1.3777 and retracing some gains after worse than expected US data. Still the pair holds above its 20 SMA in the hourly chart, while indicators bounce from their midlines, showing little bearish strength. In the 4 hours chart the bearish tone seen on previous updates prevails, although a clear below 1.3710 is required to confirm further short term slides.
Support levels: 1.3740 1.3710 1.3670
Resistance levels: 1.3780 1.3810 1.3835

In the 4 hours chart, the pair is still biased lower according to technical readings as per 20 SMA acting as dynamic resistance around 1.6115 and indicators steady in negative territory. A recovery above this last however, should signal a stronger recovery ahead towards 1.6200 for the upcoming sessions.
