FxWirePro: EUR/USD pauses decline, downside risk remains
Wednesday, January 25, 2017 3:00 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair fell as low as 1.0717 in the early US session as renewed hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump will unleash growth-friendly spending policies boosted greenback.
- Investors turned their attention to world stocks, which hit a 19-month high, lifted by strong Japanese trade data, stellar European company earnings and hopes that Trump will press ahead with a large fiscal spending package.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0784 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 1.0740, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0784.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0687, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0653.
