German consumers are becoming more optimistic. Following 9.7 points in March 2015, the score of 10.0 points are expected for April. But Greece concerns and the US stronger data pushed the pair towards 1.0856. The pair managed to close above 20Dsma at the yesterday's session as well. Today, the euro is trading higher against the greenback at the early Asian session. The intraday trend was turned to bearish based on hourly moving averages. Intraday resistance is seen at 1.0950 and support is likely to be found at 1.0850 and 1.0830. At yesterday's session, we recommended fresh selling below 1.0940 with targets at 1.0900, 1.0880, 1.0770, 1.0750, and 1.0690; positional buying remained in play with sl 1.0830. The pair made a low at 1.0856. Even though, the pair breaches the intraday basis of 1.1045, it is unable to close above that level. A daily close below 1.0770 shows that bulls are losing grip. Bulls must try to close above 1.1045. Bears must try to close below 1.0768. In case the price closes above 1.1045, bulls can challenge 1.1170 and 1.1500. We are bullish for EUR against GBP for now, but not against USD. The levels above the closing basis can change the current picture.
Trade: selling below 1.0830
