EUR/USD continues to tease traders around the 1.3600 handle with candlestick formations offering little in the way of guidance on which way the pair could swing. The most recent notable candlestick, a Shooting Star formation has been met with little downside follow-through which casts doubt on the potential for a correction lower.
