EUR/USD: Scope for 1.1495 as near-term USD weakness is expected to peter out – Commerzbank
|
EUR/USD managed to rise above 1.17 on Tuesday and Karen Jones, Team Head FICC Technical Analysis Research at Commerzbank, believes the pair is executing a return to point of break out. The upmove should fade at the 1.18 downtrend and a fall to the 1.1495 is likely.
Key quotes
“EUR/USD is seeing a small rebound. We suspect that it is executing a return to point of break out from a top. In which case we should see the rally struggle 1.1755/67 and remain contained by the short-term downtrend at 1.1800. We should then see renewed weakness towards 1.1523, the 38.2% retracement and then the March high at 1.1495 (this is also the measurement down from the top).”
“There is an outside chance that losses could extend to the 200-day ma at 1.1245, but that is not our favoured scenario.”
“The short-term downtrend guards 1.1870/1.1971 and only above here will re-target the 1.2014/15 region.”
