Share this:
This morning, the August German Consumer Confidence was released at -0.3, well above the -4.5 expected. It stood at -9.4 in July.
From a technical point of view, on a daily chart, EUR/USD has validated a bullish flag and is supported by its rising 50-day moving average (in blue). Readers may therefore consider the potential for further rise above support at 1.1280. The nearest threshold would be set at horizontal resistance at 1.1680 and a second one would be set at September 18 top at 1.1800 in extension.
