FxWirePro: EUR/USD strongly bearish despite upside attempts
Monday, February 6, 2017 4:52 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Monday as dollar regained some ground after being hit by a poor wages report last week and political uncertainty ahead France's presidential election weighted on Euro.
- Investors were largely focused on French politics, as far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen launched her presidential bid, vowing to fight globalization and take France out of the euro zone.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0826 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 1.0766, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0800.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0706, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0658.
