EUR/USD: Bears in control, flirting with 1.10 handle
|EUR/USD is flirting with 1.10 handle in Asia as calls of referendum across Eurozone after Brexit is keeping the EUR on the back foot.
Rejected at 50% Fibo
Pair failed to sustain above 1.1066 (50% of 1.0517-1.1616) in early Asia and made its way back to 1.10 levels. The common currency is feeling the heat of Brexit, which as per Chancellor Merkel is a ‘watershed for Europe’. Moreover, quite a few Eurozone nations have called for an EU referendum after Britons voted in favor of ‘exit’.
The political uncertainty is seeing money flow into safe haven treasuries, due to which the greenback is having a good time out there. With no major data due in Europe, the political news flow from Europe is likely to guide the pair.
EUR/USD Technical Levels
At the time of writing, the pair was trading around 1.10 handle. Acceptance below 1.10 would open doors for 1.0937 (61.8% of 1.0517-1.1616) and 1.09 levels. On the higher side, 1.1066 (50% of 1.0517-1.1616) would shift risk in favor of a rise to 1.11 (200-DMA). Next resistance is seen at 1.1133 (May 24 low).
