EURUSD traded lower into the close, however remains in consolidation mode. Key support lies at the 50-day EMA, at 1.1695. A clear breach of it is required to suggest scope for a stronger short-term reversal. This would open 1.1505, the Apr 6 low. While the EMA support holds, the trend structure is bullish. Attention is on 1.1849, the Apr 17 high and bull trigger. Clearance of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend that started mid-March.
