Technical Analysis EUR/USD for 8/19/15

The EUR/USD lost ground during the middle of the U.S. trading session following an upgrade by the Atlanta Fed for Q3 GDP. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow was boosted to 1.3% for Q3 from the previous 0.7% estimate, as the measure catches up to the internals of Friday’s industrial production report, though still some distance from the median estimate of 2.7%.

The currency pair sliced through the 50-day moving average and is now poised to test support at an upward sloping trend line near 1.09.  Resistance above the 50-day moving average is seen near a downward sloping trend line at 1.1150.  The tighter consolidating pattern has pushed the RSI to 51, very close to the middle of the neutral range.
