FxWirePro: EUR/USD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases
Monday, April 3, 2017 2:03 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Monday as mixed economic data coming out of Europe added to existing worries about political risk in the continent, driving investors to sell the single currency.
- France will vote in a two-round presidential election at the end this month and at the start of May, with investors worried by the risk that the far-right anti-EU Marine Le Pen could stage a surprise victory.
- Polls show Le Pen seeing off her rivals in the upcoming first round of the French presidential elections, but being beaten in the run-off vote.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0694 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 1.0663, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0694.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0632, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0595.
