Mid−Day Forex Technical Report − Dollar Remains Pressured as Oil Breaks $143 by ActionForex.com
EUR/USD retreats mildly after reaching as high as 1.5836 earlier today. Nevertheless, intraday bias remains on the upside as long as 1.5718 minor support holds. Further rally is expected to test 1.5843 resistance. Note that at this moment, it's uncertain what form of pattern will the consolidation from 1.6019 eventually develop into.
