EUR/USD Open 1.3438 High 1.3534 Low 1.3256 Close 1.3444

On Wednesday Euro/Dollar increased with almost 280 pips on central bank efforts to stabilize markets. The European currency appreciated from 1.3256 to 1.3534 yesterday, not matching the negative Interbank sentiment projection at bellow -4%, closing the day at 1.3444. This morning the Euro is trading quietly, with movements at the upper end of yesterday's range for now. On the 1 hour chart the downward channel was broken upwards, while on the 3 hour chart quotes held within the wide trading range. Break above the nearest resistance and yesterday's top at 1.3534 may trigger further strengthening of the Euro. Going bellow yesterday's bottom and first support at 1.3256, however, would confirm continuation of the bearish trend, towards next objective downwards 1.3140.
