EUR/USD forecast for the week of July 4, 2016
The EUR/USD pair initially fell during the course of the week but then turned back around to show quite a bit of strength. The previous uptrend line now looks as if it is going to be resistive, so having said that I think that we could have a bit of volatility in this region. Ultimately though, I think that with all of the uncertainty in the European Union now, we should eventually see sellers jumping into this marketplace and pushing the value of the Euro lower. Patience will be needed though.
