EUR/USDhas broken above the critical 1.3900 handle in recent trading with the pair now seemingly struggling near its 2014 high. Intraday candlestick patterns suggest the potential for a pullback to the original breakout point. However a more significant correction may not be warranted at this stage given a key reversal pattern remains missing on the daily.
