Key Quotes

“EURUSD gains have stalled on the short-term charts, with expected resistance in the upper 1.06/low1.07s capping gains”.

“The short-term tone remains consolidative, with the market carving out a (potential) bear flag on shorter term charts via the sideways-to-slightly higher range trade that has formed over the past two weeks. Recent history suggests that these consolidations rarely last too long”.

“We expect resistance at 1.675/1.0725 to contain gains and for the loss of support at 1.0575 to trigger renewed downside momentum”.
