EUR/USD Analysis

The price rose steadily for the first half of last week, in line with the long-term bullish trend in this pair, but it was unable to crack the medium-term bearish trend line at about 1.1875. After rejecting this line, the price has fallen continually, and is now sitting right on an area of key support that stretches from about 1.1802 to 1.1780. As the area at 1.1800 has already been touched with little reaction, I look to the lower boundary at 1.1780 for a potential long trade entry. There is little news today so I think it will probably hold if reached, as it should be a relatively quiet trading day.
