Market Updates

EUR/USD

Following the NFP results, there has been a lot of US dollar strength across the FX markets affecting most pairs including the EURUSD. We have seen the EURUSD pair break the 1.1795 support trading downwards as low as the 1.1710 to 1.1700 range, this area is a level of strong support. A break in the 1.1700 may see the pair moving lower in the long term. Our strong resistance is still the 1.1900 handle. If we see the 1.1900 broken the pair should start to gain some upwards momentum and move towards the 1.1960 level.
