Technical Outlook August 30, 2017EURUSDThe currency pair established new highs yesterday but declined during the American session, starting a correction. Then, EUR/USD resumed its decline because of the better than expected US CB Consumer Confidence data.
The price is back towards the MA55 balance line and here you can look for long trades. However, there is a probability, that the currency pair is able to develop its correction. USD has got some support as the tensions between the United States and the Northern Korea grow again.
