Talking Points:

• EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
• Support: 1.0860, 1.0814, 1.0740
• Resistance: 1.0980, 1.1037, 1.1128

The Euro remains perched atop five-month trend line support against the US Dollar as prices await direction cues. Near-term support is in the 1.0860-88 area (trend line, 38.2% Fibonacci expansion), with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 1.0814-18 zone (50% level, May 27 low). Alternatively, a push above the 23.6% Fib at 1.0980 clears the way for a challenge of the 14.6% expansion at 1.1037.

Risk/reward considerations argue against entering shortin line with our long-term outlook with prices in close proximity to support. With that in mind, we will continue to stand aside until a more attractive opportunity presents itself.
