EURINR
Technical Outlook:
EURINR prices gave a gap down opening
but failed to sustain at lower levels and
moved higher.
Currently prices are trading near the
downtrend line which suggests break
above the mentioned trend line could
head prices higher while failure to breach
the trend line would keep prices under
pressure.
On smaller timeframe, prices are trading
above the center band of the Bollinger
band which again hints that prices could
test the upper band at 77.73 levels.
Fundamental News:
The euro pared gains against the U.S. dollar on Friday, pulling away from session highs as euro zone inflation data released earlier in the session dampened demand for the single currency..

prices towards 97.55 followed by 97.40
levels.
