This could be a fast move and very suitable for intra-day traders especially those who only trade the EUR/USD pair!

If this forex pair breaks above the resistance of the symmetrical triangle pattern, it could reach my target of 1.3650.

If it does fall below the 9-day uptrend and eventually from the triangle pattern, my target price would be the next support at 1.3244. So either ways the EUR/USD breaks to, an easy 100 pips that is!
