The EUR/USD pair has managed to find support and resistance at previously broken trend lines and has pulled back to the 1.23000 level, forming what looks to be wedge across it. This can happen around important levels as sellers and buyers battle for control. The wedge can be a continuation pattern but can also cause a reversal. Until price breaks the pattern and points out its intentions patience is required to avoid being caught in a position against the move. US Consumer Price Index data later today, at 12:30 GMT, is a possible trigger for a breakout. The resistance trend line is found at 1.23492 currently, with the 1.23759 level beyond.
