The German industrial production exceeded expectations in June, expanding at an annual pace of 2.0% and 2.4% inter-month vs. the median at -0.4% and 0.3%, respectively. The pair found extra support after the market judged Carney’s forward guidance as GBP-supportive, sending the sterling beyond 1.5400. “We recently had a cycle change date coming in on July 28th. This cycle should see the EURUSD trade to the lower end of the ranges… So at this point I am looking to sell rallies. We have a major resistance at 1.3350, and 1.3425 respectively. Conversely, we have minor support at 1.3280 and the major support at 1.3155 level”, suggested Tom Strignano Alongi, Strategist at Strignano Forex.
