EUR/USD falters ahead of 1.3700

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD entered a consolidation phase after the latest bullish attempt propelled by disappointing US data found resistance at the 1.3690 area.

The EUR/USD climbed to a 2-week high of 1.3691 but lacked momentum to break decisively though the 1.3690/1.3700 resistance area and settled in a range just below with the in-line-with-expectations US business inventories data having virtually no impact on the pair. At time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at the 1.3665, recording a 0.5% gain Thursday.

EUR/USD technical levels
