EURUSD

The Euro holds positive near-term tone, following last Friday’s very disappointing US NFP data that boosted the single currency to spike above 1.13 barrier vs the dollar. However, rallies were short-lived, as corrective easing retraced over 61.8% of 1.1149/1.1317 rally. The Euro is expected to maintain support from further delay in Fed’s rate action that became more likely after Friday’s jobs data, but limited upside is seen for now,. Scenario of prolonged range-trading, looks favored for now, as daily technicals are in neutral mode, with bear-trendline, drawn off 1.1712 peak, capping for now, currently at 1.1314 and 200SMA offering good support at 1.1157. Break through these borders is needed to signal fresh direction.
Daily cloud base offers initial resistance at 1.1260, while cloud’s top reinforces the upper breakpoint, Friday’s peak / trendline resistance.


Res: 1.1247; 1.1260; 1.1280; 1.1317
Sup: 1.1220; 1.1180; 1.1157; 1.1138

Fresh attempts at Friday’s post-data peak at 1.5235, also Fibonacci 23.6% of 1.5656/1.5105 downleg, would trigger further retracement on sustained break higher and expose next strong barriers at 1.5315, Fibonacci 38.2% retracement and 1.5320, daily 20 and 200SMA’s, which are running parallel. Limited upside action is expected, as overall structure remains bearish and corrective attempts should be ideally capped under 200SMA, to keep immediate focus at 1.5085 and 1.5000 targets, Fibonacci 61.8% of 4563/1.5928 rally / psychological support.
