EUR/USD in uptrend position:

EUR/USD current price 1.4951 and I expect the currency pair will reach 1.5000 at some point today. Fears of US inflation is putting pressure on the American dollar.

EUR/USD current price 1.4935

The currency pair has risen from 1.4840 up to 1.4935 and I assume that the resistance is located at 1.4940

Claimant Count Change positive for GBP:

The number of people claiming benefits due to unemployment has risen again but the rate of the increase has slowed the data indicated today. The news pushed the British currency to rise from the price of 1.5940 up to 1.6000 (profit of 60 pips) within minutes after the data was released.

EUR/USD today:

Resistance level is located around 1.4800. Current price EUR/USD 1.4779. The currency may rise with some profitable pips today after the release of German ZEW Economic Sentiment data. Above 0.0 indicates optimism and the forecast is 58.6, on the other hand EUR/USD may take downturn to about 1.4750

Escape from the US Dollar began.

According to data from Barclays Capital in the third quarter, central banks have turned 63% of foreign exchange reserves in yen and euros, which is a unique record. The news may be a sign of another price drop of the American currency in the near future.
