EURUSD

The Euro remains under strong pressure and heads towards yesterday’s fresh low at 1.0550, posted on a bumpy ride from 1.0635 to 1.0550 and back to 1.0625, where upside attempts were capped. The single currency is awaiting today’s ECB’s meeting, with expectations of rate cut and extension of QE, being on the table.
Technicals remain firmly bearish and favor further downside action, with initial targets at 1.0550, yesterday’s low and 1.0519, Apr low, guarding key support at 1.0461, low of 2015.
On the upside, hourly Ichimoku cloud base marks initial resistance at 1.0596, followed by falling daily 10SMA and 4-hour cloud base at 1.0614 and strong resistance zone between 1.0625/35, highs of past two days.
Only break here would sideline immediate downside threats and expose next pivot at 1.0667, falling daily 20SMA.

Res: 1.0596; 1.0614; 1.0635; 1.0667
Sup: 1.0550; 1.0519; 1.0500; 1.0461
