Update: Pull-back May Find A Support At 1.3300 or 1.32460 Level – Elliott Wave Analysis
Euro/dollar found support just above 1.3330 and moved up from there. The moves up and down eventually formed a downtrend channel.
On the upside, 1.3480 is a very important line of resistance, after being the peak of 2012. It is also just below the round number of 1.35. On the downside, 1.3290 provides support, followed by 1.3240.
