EUR/USD finds support from the 25 December lows

The pair has neared the level last week and yesterday but so far have failed to make a break below the lows mentioned. Bloomberg has that level pinned at 1.1812, but some charts will have it around 1.1816. Whatever the case, that is the level that is currently keeping the pair supported for the time being.

Bias in the pair is still for a move towards the downside (trading below the 100 and 200 MAs on the hourly and daily chart), but this is the next hurdle that sellers have to break below to move towards the next set of support levels.

There isn't much of note on the data front to drive direction in the pair today, so the move today will be more towards the dollar side of the equation - more specifically yields once again. US 10-year yields are now down 1 bps on the day to 3.063% so let's see if it will be able to spark another leg higher in the dollar later in the day.

Towards the downside, the next key area beyond the 25 December low will be the region between 1.1690 and 1.1728 as a handful of support levels are seen there.
