  • Firmer USD and a drop in Eurozone Sentix likely to keep downside pressure intact.
     
  • Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence index dipped to 19.2 for May missing forecasts at  21.0.
     
  • Bears strongly in control, the pair is consolidating below 200-DMA at 1.2017, bias lower.
     
  • Technical studies support further weakness in the pair. We see scope for test of major trendline support at 1.1855.
     
  • Breakout below 1.1855 to see further weakness. Next major bear target below 1.1855 lies at 38.2% Fib at 1.1709.
     
  • On the flipside, 200-DMA is immediate resistance. Retrace and close above could negate bearish bias.
