Technical Targets for EUR/USD - United Overseas Bank (based on the article)

EUR/USD: Bearish with target of 1.0710

  • "In line with expectations, the recent EUR/USD strength extended higher to test the 1.0875/80 resistance (high of 1.0873). The undertone remains positive and from here, a move towards 1.0895/00 will not be surprising. Only a move back below 1.0815 would indicate that the current mild upward pressure has eased."
  • "Thus, the short-term EUR strength appears to have room to extend higher but as long as the stop-loss at 1.0905 is intact, we continue to hold a bearish view. That said, as highlighted previously, downward momentum is not impulsive and a move below the major support at 1.0710 appears unlikely for now."

Support
1.0992
1.0777

  • Recommendation to go short: watch close daily price to break 1.0777 support level for possible sell trade
  • Trading Summary: ranging

SUMMARY : bearish

TREND : bearish ranging on reversal
