EURUSD in sideways

Posted On 09 Aug 2016

Previous:

Investor activity during the American session was low. Due to the lack of catalysers for movement, the EURUSD dropped to 1.1072 and then restored to 1.1088 by trade opening in Asia. The euro spent the day in a 33 point corridor range.

Market Expectations:

On Tuesday I am sticking with a bullish mood for the pair and reckon that, with support from the euro/pound, the euro/dollar will rise to 1.1128. The news is little, too little for it to rock the market. Due to this, the euro”s strengthening has a ceiling of 1.1150.

Day”s News (EET):

09:00, German June balance of trade;

The euro dollar is still trading below the 45^th degree and LB. Whilst traders within the price are banking on a rate drop from the BoE, the euro/pound will offer support to the euro/dollar.

When a cross rises with a weakening dollar, the euro/dollar rate sees a sharp rise. When a cross rises with a rising dollar, the euro/dollar consolidates in a sideways. The stronger the EUR/USD growth from its current level, the higher the likeliness of us seeing a test of 1.12.
