Key Quotes
“We warned of the rapidly waning momentum yesterday (19 Feb) & indicated that EUR “has to move & stay below 1.1280 within these 1 to 2 days or a break of 1.1350 ‘key resistance’ would not be surprising”.”
“Price action has shifted immediate risk to the upside but it is too soon to expect a sustained rise in EUR. Momentum indicators are lackluster & any advance is expected to struggle to move above 1.1440 (1.1410 is already quite a strong level).”
“In other words, while the current mild upward pressure could lead to a higher EUR, the prospect for a sustained up-move is not high. On the downside, a move below 1.1270 would indicate that the current mild upward pressure has eased.”
