Meanwhile, the EURUSD is moving higher in the early North American session. From the morning video, I noted that the range for the pair was a narrow 28 pips. Buyers took charge when the price broke above the converged 100 and 200 hour moving averages at 1.0804. The price high has now extended up to 1.08252. That has extended the day's trading range to 46 pips which is still short of the 84 PIP average of an last 22 trading days (around a month of trading. There is room to roam.

Going forward the 100 and 200-hour moving average is now support. On the top side with increase momentum, the next targets comes in at

• 1.08298 - swing highs from March 25 and again yesterday)
• 1.0848 to 1.08594 (swing area).
