US data posted quite positive numbers this morning, sending stocks to bright green, and dollar lower against major rivals. The greenback slide however, seems mostly corrective after early week gains. The EUR/USD trades well back above 1.3000, approaching yesterday’s high at 1.3063 immediate resistance area. The hourly chart shows a slightly bullish tone as per indicators heading higher above their midlines, and price back above 20 SMA, although in the 4 hours chart, the moving average lies around 1.3090 with a strong bearish slope. This level should then be tops in case of more recoveries.
