Following a bottom of US$1.0178 (onA 13 January) and a subsequent higher low of US$1.0211, resistance at US$1.0610-US$1.0597 calls for attention. However, given the neighbouring resistance further north at US$1.0610-US$1.0597, the EUR/USD (euro versus the US dollar) could whipsaw through buy stops above US$1.0610-US$1.0597 and provide liquidity for traders to fade US$1.0610-US$1.0597.
