FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/USD dips after another rejection of 1.09. The pair could slump to 1.0790 on a break below 1.0840, economists at Scotiabank report.

Broader bull trend remains intact

“Spot has reversed quite strongly from the daily high just above 1.09, giving the intraday chart a negative look.”

“The near-term outlook turns more EUR-negative below 1.0840 (minor double top trigger) which would put the EUR on course for a test of 1.0790.”

“The broader bull trend remains intact, however, and we continue to anticipate firm support for the EUR on relatively minor dips.”
