Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 4 things you need to know for today’s market

EURUSD 1 HOUR CHART – 1;05 PATTERN EXTENDED
1.05, which traded Tuesday-Friday last week, has been extended to 5 days in a row on Monday. Range is limited while this pattern continues but the longer it goes on the greater the risk of a directional move once it is broken.
This is similar to the recent USDJPY pattern around 150 and you can see what happened after that pattern was broken,
In the meantime, there is a double top at 1.0524 ahead of resistance at 1.0531-39.
On the downside, 1.0480 blocks last week’s 1.0453 low.
nOTE, THE 2 PILLARS OF EURUSD SUPPORT WERE EURGBP AND EURJPY. EURGBP is weaker today so more of a weight on EURUSD than support. EURJPY is still trading with a bid.
Simple algebras
EURJPY = USDJPY X EURUSD
USDJPY stalls on upside, only way for EURJPY to move higher is then via a firmer EURUSD
EURGBP = EURUSD/GBPUSD
GBPUSD stalls on downside, only way for EURJPY to move higher is via a firmer EURUSD
EURUSD LAST AT 1.0518 (FIRMER)… BUT STILL BELOW THE 1.0530-40 RESISTANCE… TEST FOR EURUSD WILL BE WHETHER IT CAN KEEP A BID ONCE ITS DROSSES TOP OUT…. A test it failed yesterday in a similar situation
