FxWirePro: EUR/USD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases
Thursday, January 26, 2017 3:52 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Thursday as the dollar retreated as investors refocused on the chances of higher U.S. inflation and growth.
- Investor appetite for dollar improved with higher global bond yields and stable stock markets around the world, a day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average topped the 20,000 mark for the first time.
- New U.S. single-family home sales fell to a 10-month low in December after three straight months of solid gains, but the housing market recovery remains intact as a tightening labor market boosts wage growth.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0773 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
- To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0705, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0773.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0644, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0600.
