FxWirePro: EUR/USD maintains bullish bias with focus on 1.1200 levels
Wednesday, May 17, 2017 2:22 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD rose higher on Wednesday as the single currency gained as political turmoil and weak economic data in the United States reduced expectations of aggressive interest rate rises this year.
- The dollar has taken a hit from solid euro zone economic data, a fall in U.S. yields on heightened turmoil in Washington and downbeat housing data.
- The euro climbed above $1.11 overnight, and hit $1.1128, its highest level since Nov. 9, in early US trading hours. It was last up 0.2 percent at $1.1127.
- The pair remains under bulls control unless until it trades above 1.1044 resistance level, therefore it is good to buy this pair on dips.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.1200, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.1239.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.1102 levels, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1044.
