The trend theme in EURUSD is unchanged, it remains bullish and the pair is trading closer to its recent highs. Resistance at 1.1743, the Aug 22 high, has recently been cleared reinforcing a bull cycle. This signals scope for 1.1829, the Jul 01 high and bull trigger. Clearance of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend. Support to watch is the 50-day EMA, at 1.1639. A clear breach of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement.
