EUR/USD eyes on ZEW

The pair seems to have left behind the pessimism that followed Monday’s meeting between Greek finmin Y.Varoufakis and the Eurogroup officials, now pushing higher to test the upper band of the intraday range.

At the moment the pair is up 0.24% at 1.1375 with the next hurdle at 1.1400 (psychological handle) ahead of 1.1443 (high Feb.13) and then 1.1499 (high Feb.5). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.1303 (low Feb.12) would expose 1.1300 (psychological level) and finally 1.1270 (low Feb.9).
