As economists at ING note, 1.0850 has emerged as a buy-the-dip area in EUR/USD over the past two sessions.

A test of 1.1000 by the end of the week is looking more likely

“It does appear investors are happily buying the dip in EUR/USD around the 1.0850 handle at the moment, and that could prove to be a short-term floor for the pair.” 

“Good data out of the Eurozone is likely keeping most investors on the bullish side of the Euro for now, and downside risks for EUR/USD appear contained.”

“A test of 1.1000 by the end of the week is looking more likely, although a decisive break higher is not our base case before the ECB.”
