Pair's Outlook
After overcoming 1.2969 the only obstacle that separates EUR/USD from attaining 1.34 lies at 1.3143/71. This resistance could potentially send the pair back to an uptrend support line, but nevertheless should eventually give in, allowing extension of a recovery. In the meantime, losses are to be limited by a key zone at 1.2826/1.2789.
