EURUSD- EUR maintained its decline off the 1.6037 level, its YTD high closing lower for a fifth week in a row and breaking through a key support zone at the 1.4967/51 zone, its range highs from Nov’07 and Jan’08 to end the week at 1.4689 on Friday.With this development risks are seen for further weakness towards its range breakout price objective at 1.4565 before the 1.4364 level, its Jan 22’08 low. Its weekly and monthly studies remain supportive of this view. On the upside, the 1.4967/51 zone is now expected to reverse roles and provide support before turning the pair lower again. Above there if seen should leave the next upside target at the 1.5304/1.5285 zone (May/Jun’08 lows) accompanied by the 1.5468 low, its Jun 23’08 low. On the whole, having taken out its strong support at the 1.4967/51 zone, EUR is now faced with further weakness aiming at the 1.4565 level and possibly lower.
