Talking Points:

  • EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 1.0955, 1.0456, 1.0233
  • Resistance:1.1263, 1.1513, 1.1762

The Euro rose as expected against US Dollar, with prices now poised to make a move above the 1.12 figure. Near-term resistance is at 1.1263, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 1.1513. Alternatively, a reversal below 1.0955 (trend line resistance-turned-support, 23.6% retracement) clears the way for a test of the 1.0456-541 area (March 16 low, the 23.6% Fib expansion).

Our long-term outlook envisions Euro weakness. With that in mind, we will treat any on-coming upswing as corrective and look to enter short once signs of a renewed turn lower emerge. In the meantime, we will remain on the sidelines.
