EUR/USD consolidates below 1.3700
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency is now giving away initial gains vs. the greenback on Friday, dragging the EUR/USD to the 1.3690/85 region.
EUR/USD rebounding from 1.3500
The pair is advancing for the second consecutive week after finding decent support around the 1.3500 handle in late January-early February, although the 1.3700/50 band still remains elusive for EUR-bulls. According to Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at TD Securities, the pair “has managed to strengthen this week (somewhat surprisingly, considering the pattern noted above) and will likely close out the week above the 100-day MA (1.3613). But it’s been a struggle for the EUR to hold on to 1.37+ levels since the start of the year and we are still more inclined to look to fade range extremes than look for extended moves in either direction at the moment”.
EUR/USD key levels
At the moment the pair is up 0.04% at 1.3688 facing the next hurdle at 1.3716 (high Jan.27) followed by 1.3740 (high Jan.24) and then 1.3776 (2014 high Jan.2). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.3608 (Kijun Sen line) would open the door to 1.3595 (daily cloud base) and finally 1.3585 (low Feb.13).
