EUR/USD: Bulls are set to test 1.1155 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Scope for the Euro (EUR) to test 1.1155; a sustained break above this level seems unlikely. IN the longer run, EUR is likely to continue to rise, but it is unclear if it has sufficient momentum to break above the y-t-d high, near 1.1200, UOB Group FX strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

Above 1.1155 bulls may push towards 1.1200

24-HOUR VIEW: “Yesterday, EUR rose and closed on a strong note at 1.1132 (+0.51%). Strong momentum suggests there is scope for EUR to test 1.1155. A sustained break above this level seems unlikely, and the year-to-date high, near 1.1200, is not expected to come under threat. Support levels are at 1.1105 and 1.1085.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “After dropping to a low of 1.1001 in the middle of last week, EUR rebounded strongly, reaching a high of 1.1137 yesterday. Upward momentum has increased. From here, EUR is likely to continue to rise, but it is unclear at this time if it has sufficient momentum to break above the year-to-date high, near 1.1200. To maintain momentum, EUR must remain above 1.1040.”
