Looking ahead on Monday, EURUSD looks bullish as the pair ended higher after Friday trading session.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 1.07007 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 1.06210. On the downside, we are looking at week low 1.05240 or 1.05414 (WS1) as immediate support level. EURUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.07007 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
