Major Currencies’ Midday Report 01/ July /2010

EURUSD

The pair strongly rushed to the upside attacking the retest level for the previously breached minor bullish channel at 1.2335, due to positive effect from momentum indicators.
As mentioned in the morning report, the breach of this level and building a base above it will pave the way for additional bullishness towards the vital resistance at 1.2470. Meanwhile, the bullish technical pattern shown in the weekly report remains intact, where the last descend is expected to form the right shoulder of this bullish pattern. We recommend observing trading around 1.2335 for chances of it either holding its stance or being breached.
