Pair's Outlook
The major currency pair demonstrates bullish sentiment on the first day of a new year and has already breached a 1.3224/40 level. However, it has not yet retested 1.3224/40 and settled above this support. EUR/USD has remained in the channel since the 19th of December, but it is very likely to see a breakout soon. The nearest resistance level is at 1.3342/73 and the next support is 1.3181.66, the lower boundary of the short-term channel.
Traders' Sentiment
Bulls took control of SWFX market, since the buy side now possesses 68% of long positions and 32% of short positions. Pending orders' segment is rather neutral, since 57% of orders are for a buy position and 43% for a sell position.
