EUR/USD still sees the daily stochastic study remaining firm but 10-day Momentum is fading along with the hourly studies. Resistance is now in the $1.3811/29 region from a number of daily highs, with the daily Bollinger band top just ahead of there at $1.3800. Bulls need to push on to the $1.3893 Dec 27 reversal high. However, bears aim to turn those daily studies lower, facing MA support from $1.3722 (5-DMA) and $1.3661 (55-DMA).
