The EUR/USD pair has retraced part of yesterday’s post-ECB gains in broadly dollar-positive price action. Economists at Scotiabank expect the world’s most popular currency pair to tick down and slide below the 1.16 level.
“We maintain a bearish view on the currency after yesterday’s ECB announcement. Lagarde did not push back on market rate hike expectations as the outlook on inflation remains highly uncertain – and a strong rebuke of market pricing could ‘backfire’.
“Month-end trading and short-covering likely also conspired to the spike in the EUR and we expect pressure for a firm drop under 1.16 to continue.”
“1.17 remains a key level to breach (50-day MA at 1.1699) against downtrend resistance from late-May/early-June (the level is also the 23.6% Fibo retracement of the May-Oct move). Beyond 1.17, 1.1750 stands as resistance while support is 1.1620 and the 1.1600 zone; 1.1572 follows.”
