EUR/USD decline halted at 1.3720
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The selling pressure around the EUR/USD seems to have found its counterpart around 1.3720, with spot now attempting to regain the 1.3730/40 area.
EUR/USD volatile, supported at 1.3700
The recent mixed bag of data from the euro area and the US economy would be collaborating with the prevailing lack of a defined direction in the pair, although its resilience above 1.3700 the figure still surprises the FX community. In the view of Camilla Sutton, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, the EUR’s short term technicals remain bullish, adding they “have not shifted into sell territory in tandem with the drop in spot and as long as today’s close is above the February 18th open at 1.3707 technicals will remain bullish; warning of a test up to 1.3800”.
EUR/USD levels to watch
At the time of writing the pair is up 0.17% at 1.3742 and a break above 1.3763 (high Feb.20) would open the door to 1.3773 (high Feb.19) ahead of 1.3777 (2014 high Jan.2). On the downside, the immediate support lines up at 1.3689 (10-d MA) followed by 1.3685 (low Feb.20) and then 1.3674 (low Feb.14).
