Fundamental Overview
The EURUSD pair bounced from an intraday low of 1.1284 and trades at around 1.1300, as demand for the greenback eased, despite the sour market’s mood persists. The US FOMC Meeting Minutes released Wednesday showed that policymakers are willing to accelerate the pace of tapering, sending the greenback up and stocks down. Asian and European shares remained under pressure after the poor performance of Wall Street.
Data wise, Germany published November Factory Orders, which were up 3.7% MoM, beating expectations. The EU Producer Price Index rose a whopping 23.7% YoY in November, while German inflation was up 5.3% YoY in December.
In the US, the November Goods Trade Balance posted a deficit of $-99 billion while weekly unemployment claims rose to 207K in the week ended December 31. The country will publish Factory Orders and the December ISM Services PMI after Wall Street’s opening.
Technical Analysis
EURUSD stays in daily range above 1.1300 after dismal US PMI data, as it continues to trade in a tight channel a little above 1.1300 during the American session on Thursday. The data from Germany showed that the annual HICP edged lower to 5.7% in December as expected. In the US, the ISM Services PMI dropped to 62 from 69.1 and missed the market forecast of 66.9.
The EURUSD pair maintains its neutral-to-bearish stance in the near term. The above 4-hour chart shows that the price is seesawing around congesting moving averages, all of them confined to a tight 15 pips range. Meanwhile, technical indicators remain directionless around their midlines.
The bullish case could gain strength if the pair breaks above 1.1385, an unlikely scenario at the time being, while bears will have better chances on a break below 1.1220, December monthly low.
Support levels are at 1.1260, 1.1220, and 1.1185.
Resistance levels are at 1.1345, 1.1385, and 1.1410.
For next week, EURSUSD price seems to be consolidating close to strong support zone (1.11800-1.12000). Technicals indicate the Euro may reach resistance line in few days. Hence, we should wait until the currency pair break the resistance line, for a trading entry. In my humble opinion, EUR may retest after that level, before making new uptrend. For next week, our technical analysis is recommending to go Long on the currency pair at or below 1.1330, setting a Stop loss at 1.1185, and go Short at or above 1.1410, setting a Stop loss at 1.15.
As of 6:00 PM (GMT), the EURUSD was trading at 1.12957.
