EURUsd trying to put in a low today
EurUsd is holding just above 108.5 today
EurUsd was in retreat today and tested the 108.5 level this afternoon
A quick move up to around 108.8 just now indicates a low for now
The pair was moving back towards 108.5 and halted around 108.6
It would seem a temporary bottom is in place at 108.5 now
I will try to buy around 108.6 - 108.7 with SL below 108.5
for a retry to break above 109 again
The pair will have to break above 109 today or tomorrow to remain bullish

Slowing economic growth and a seemingly relentless decline in inflation across the euro zone, including Germany, has spurred buying of Bunds, meaning Berlin can now borrow for 10 years at less than 1 percent compared with 2 percent at the start of the year.
Expectations the European Central Bank will eventual…
