Update Time: 15 Dec 2015 01:05 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0997

The single currency's rise above previous high at 1.0981 to 1.1043 last Wednesday on dollar's broad-based weakness signals upmove from last December's fresh 7-1/2 month trough at 1.0523 has resumed and consolidation with upside bias would be seen for gain towards 1.1070/80.

However, loss of momentum would prevent strong gain above there and reckon resistance at 1.1119 would remain intact and yield retreat.

On the downside, a daily close below support area at 1.0770/80 would suggest 1st leg of correction is over, then risk of a stronger retracement towards 1.0752 (50% r) can't be ruled out before prospect of another rise next week.
