Technical Bias: Bearish
Key Takeaways
Euro was hammered against the US dollar during this past week, which might continue this week as well.
EURUSD pair looks like heading towards the 1.2620-00 support area.
EURUSD support seen at 1.2620 and resistance ahead at 1.2780.
The Euro sellers enjoyed the ride recently, but any major losses from the current levels against the US dollar look tough moving ahead.
Technical Analysis
There is a bearish trend line on the 4 hour timeframe of the EURUSD pair, which acted as a resistance for the Euro buyers on a number of occasions. The highlighted trend line is currently coinciding with the 50 simple moving average (SMA) – 4H. Moreover, the 100 SMA (4H) is also sitting above the bearish trend line. So, if the pair retraces from the current or a bit lower levels, then it might find a lot of sellers around the 1.2800-10 area. The mentioned area also acted as a support recently, so it might turn as a strong barrier in the near term. Moreover, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last leg from the 1.2907 high to 1.2666 low also sits around the mentioned resistance area.
However, there are strong signs of exhaustion emerging, as the 4H RSI is well around the extreme levels which might cause a pullback in the short term. If at all the EURUSD pair slides further, then the next level of interest is around the 1.2620 area. Any additional downside should be limited considering oversold readings.
Euro Zone Consumer Confidence
The Euro zone consumer confidence data will be published later during the London session today. The forecast is slated for a decline from -10 to -11. If the outcome is on the positive side, then there is a chance that the Euro might recover some ground moving ahead.
