EUR/USD eyes a quick move to parity/0.99 over the next 2-4 weeks – Credit Suisse

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/USD broke aggressively below key support at 1.0350/41 on Tuesday. This breakdown suggests a quick move over the next 2-4 weeks to 1.00/00.99, where analysts at Credit Suisse look for another phase of consolidation.

Opening up a move to parity

“EUR/USD has broken below key price support from the YTD and 2017 lows at 1.0350/41, which we view as a very important breakdown, suggesting further weakness over the next 2-4 weeks towardsh parity/0.99. Thereafter, our bias would be for another consolidation phase to emerge, similar to the one we saw in May/June. “

“The market should now ideally remain capped below 1.0341/66 in the short-term. Next resistance above here is seen at 1.0489, above which would point to a false breakdown and further ranging, which is not our base case in the short-term.”
