EURUSD

The pair started the week and continued its serious growth trend, but it could not keep this pace, having stumbled on Thursday. As a result, Euro dropped from the resistance area around 1.0760 almost by a figure. However, dollar bulls could not use the situation to the full extent: the pair stabilized and ended the week a bit above 1.07, actually where it has started the week.

Yesterday the pair managed to accelerate and reached 1.1340 but it returned to its main trend by the end of the day, having dropped below 1.13.
