Is eur/usd bearish or bullish ?

Is eur/usd bearish or bullish?



 It appeared that eur/usd was struggling between 1.38 and 1.3850, but since it crossed its resistance 1.3850 and it is trading at 1.3875, we might be expecting an extended bullish trend and new bullish target at 1.4. But any sign of bearish signal may lead the pair to be traded at 1.37 followed by 1.35.


 Fundamental analysis

The US Non-Farm Payroll came across better than expected as more jobs were created. Having said so, it is important to understand that the drop in unemployment rate is also due to a reduction of the statistic population size.
Across the Atlantic, the euro zone unemployment rate dropped too. However Spain’s unemployment remains critical as it is above 25%. The union of various economies with different situations remains a major challenge for the euro zone.
The European Central Bank is meeting for the minimum bid rate this week and there are some concerns regarding the interest rate. Do be careful of any unexpected developments.

Technical analysis

Main scenario:
The uptrend may be expected to continue while pair is trading above support level 1.3810, which will be followed by reaching resistance level 1.3935 and then to 1.4 .

Alternative scenario:
An downtrend will start as soon, as the pair drops below support level 1.3810, which will be followed by moving down to support level 1.3700 and then 1.35.
