EUR/USD

Near-term price action has found temporary support at 1.3427, with fresh strength attempting through 1.3555/76 resistance zone. Break here is needed to confirm immediate recovery mode and look for upside extension towards 1.3625/35, then trendline resistance, currently at 1.37. Failure to clearly break above 1.3576 will signal a resumption of near-term downtrend from 1.3860 and loss of 1.3427 to turn focus to 1.3395, 20 Jan low / channel support and 1.3366, 50% retracement, break of which would accelerate losses and expose 1.3252/43, 61.8% / 17 Jan higher low.
