EURUSD: 1.1146
EurUsd has been under pressure as the dollar continues its recovery following the FOMC decision, assisted by today’s firm US data, with the pair finishing the session just above the Thursday lows of 1.1131.
With the 4 hour/daily momentum indicators looking heavy further losses look likely, which could see a decline to 1.1100/10 and possibly to 1.1075 and 1.1015.
On the topside, minor resistance will be seen at 1.1165 and 1.1200 although I don’t think we are heading back up here today. If wrong, look for a move back to the Thursday high of 1.1228.
While the dailies point lower, selling rallies towards 1.1200, with a SL placed above 1.1230 seems to be the plan.
The EU May inflation figure and the US May housing starts and the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index are data risks for Friday.
