The dollar sank across the board on Wednesday and the weak report of US existing houses and fears of a puny non-farm payrolls report didn't help its cause. The bias remains mixed to lower for the dollar.
Euro/dollar
The euro/dollar rallied on Wednesday. You should now be looking for further gains.
Initial resistance is at 1.3675. Strong resistance follows a 1.3765.
Below 1.3580, euro/dollar still has support at 1.3555. A break below the latter level would signal the resumption of the downmove. Next level is at 1.3480.
Oscillators are mixed.
NEAR-TERM: Mixed
MEDIUM-TERM: Bearish
LONG-TERM: Mixed
