EUR/USD: Euro Bounce Hinted Ahead

Talking Points:

  • EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 1.1516, 1.1416, 1.1254
  • Resistance:1.1620, 1.1720, 1.1882

The Euro may see a recovery against the US Dollar after prices put in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 1.1620, the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 23.6% level at 1.1720. Alternatively, a reversal below the 14.6% Fib expansion at 1.1516 clears the way for a test of the 23.6% threshold at 1.1416.

We expect any on-coming EURUSD strength to be corrective, in line with our long-term outlook. With that in mind, we will treat upside momentum as an opportunity to enter short at a more attractive level and remain on the sidelines in the interim.
