"The number will be pivotal as to whether QE will be imminent or not. Anything above the €230 billion mark could allow the ECB more breathing space and delay the prospect of sovereign-debt buying which could well see the euro retake the $1.25 and possibly beyond." 
- Market strategist at IG (based on MarketWatch)

Pair's Outlook
EUR/USD continued to show a strong upward development during the trading session back on Wednesday, as it managed to rise through the weekly R1 and monthly PP to reach the December's high at 1.2494. Taking into account the present neutrality of daily technical indicators, a sharp consolidation of the pair is unlikely, while in the medium-term the bearish outlook still remains in place. 

Traders' Sentiment
During last 24 hours, sentiment on the EUR/USD cross declined slightly, while now 47% of all opened positions are long, compared to 50% yesterday. Pending orders in 100-pip range from the current market price, however, remained completely unchanged, with 42% of them still set to buy the Euro versus Greenback.
