EURUSD moves toward key trendline resistanceEUR/USD" title="EUR/USD" width="580" height="420">
The low for 2011 in the EURUSD came in at the 1.2857. The trendline off the December high comes in at 1.2866. The market is moving toward the level as comments from Greece and such keep the shorts on edge. A move toward the level, however, should solicit selling /profit taking on the first test. On a break, however, there should be some stops triggered. Given the substantial trend lower since October, there is room to roam above if the shorts get scared and cover. So far, so good. The bears remain in charge. However, be aware and be prepared.
