Posted on April 19, 2017 at 2:47 pm GMT

Besides final Eurozone inflation data for the month of March and some data on US crude oil inventories, investors didn’t have much to digest in terms of economic data during today’s European session trading. Political developments were once again on the spotlight. The dollar index gained some ground today after three straight days of falls, but even at its highest it failed to break above the 100 level.

Additionally, notice that the Tenkan-sen is positively sloped, perhaps indicating that there’s still momentum for upside movements in price. [..]
