Key Quotes
“EURUSD had one job to do this week and that was to build on gains and extend through retracement resistance at 1.0708 (38.2% Fib). It has not done that”.
“Heavy losses yesterday have not delivered a definitively negative technical signal on the daily or intraday charts, however, and the EUR has found support over the past 24 hours around the 55-day MA in the low 1.06s”.
“The short-term trend is still up but failure in the low 1.07s – the first real technical hurdle in this rebound – suggests it may struggle to extend. Support is 1.0580”.
