FxWirePro: EUR/USD gains some upside but reversal is likely

  • The EUR /USD pair inched higher on Friday as dollar gave up some ground after data showed U.S. retail sales increased less-than-expected in April.
     
  • U.S. retail sales increased in April as households bought more motor vehicles and a range of other goods, suggesting the economy was regaining momentum after almost stalling in the first quarter.
     
  • The Commerce Department said on Friday retail sales rose 0.4 percent last month. March's retail sales were revised up to show a 0.1 percent gain instead of the previously reported 0.2 percent drop.
     
  • Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong resistance level at 1.0977 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0922, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0977.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0870, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0833.
