Offered at trend line hurdle
The common currency ran into offers yesterday around the resistance of the falling trend line drawn from Sep 8 high and Sep 15 high. Furthermore, the spot failed near Pivot level in the Asian session. Consequently, prices slipped to a low of 1.1194 and were last seen trading just below 1.12 handle.
EUR traders eye preliminary manufacturing ahead of speeches from Fed’s Harker, Mester and Lockhart.
EUR/USD Technical Levels
A break below immediate support of 1.1171 (10-DMA) would open doors for 1.1150 (200-DMA). A violation there could force unwinding of long position and yield a quick fire drop to 1.1070 (Aug 9 low). On the other hand, a break above 1.1212 (Asian session low) would shift risk in favor of a rise to 1.1248 (Pivot R1). Next major resistance is seen at 1.1284 (Sep 15 high).
