FxWirePro: EUR/USD outlook weaker on renewed downside pressure
Tuesday, December 13, 2016 2:43 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD declined on Tuesday as demand for greenback increased ahead of a key two-day meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve that is expected to deliver the second interest rate rise in a decade.
- The Fed meeting starts later in the day and markets have priced in a nearly 100 percent chance of a quarter percentage point increase.
- Further upside in this pair should be limited as the resistance level at 1.0690 should limit upside and bring towards lower levels.
- To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0649, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.0690.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.0597 levels, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0550.
