FxWirePro: EUR/USD changes short term trend from neutral to bearish
Wednesday, April 26, 2017 3:06 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD pair declined on Wednesday as investors cashed in on gains made on the back of the first round of France's presidential elections and a market rethink on euro zone monetary policy.
- Investors attention turned to U.S. President Donald Trump's promised announcement on tax cuts, supporting a reheating of the dollar-positive "Trumpflation" trades that dominated the end of last year but have waned since.
- The euro fell around a third of a percent against the dollar, weakening to $1.0873 from a high of $1.0951 hit in early European trade.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0954 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 1.0910, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0954.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0863, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0800.
