FxWirePro: EUR/USD downtrend loses steam but outlook still bearish
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 2:21 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Tuesday as the greenback regained ground lost and demand for euro waned following France's election result.
- The euro dipped back below $1.09, down more than a cent down from 6-month highs hit after Macron's victory on Sunday.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0960 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 1.0905, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0960.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0851, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0818.
