- EUR/USD advances to 3-day highs past 1.1000 on Wednesday.
- The 10-day SMA at 1.1066 emerges as the next minor hurdle.
EUR/USD posts strong gains and retakes the 1.10 mark – and above on the back of the firmer sentiment surrounding the risk complex.
While the ongoing rebound is deemed as technical only, it does carry the potential to initially extend to the 10-day SMA at 1.1066, where it should struggle to advance further. Looking at the broader picture, there is the palpable risk for the continuation of the downtrend in the near-term horizon with the next area of contention around the 2022 low in the 1.0800 neighbourhood.
The negative outlook for EUR/USD is expected to remain unchanged while below the key 200-day SMA, today at 1.1571.
