FxWirePro: EUR/USD reverses recent rally, bias back to downside
Wednesday, October 5, 2016 2:46 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD pair initially inched up towards 1.1234 on Wednesday as the pair found buying interest on growing concerns over a potential reduction in stimulus by the European Central Bank but declined after upbeat ISM U.S. services data boosted dollar across the board.
- The Institute for Supply Management said its non-manufacturing activity index rose to 57.1 last month, which was its highest level in 11 months.
- Further upside is expected to be limited as the pair faces strong resistance at 1.1252 which should limit upside and bring decline back to lower side.
- To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.1211, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.1252.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.1174, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1137.
