EUR/USD forecast: recovery halted at 1.0960 – Commerzbank and OCBC Bank
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The recent recovery of EUR/USD seems to have lost momentum around the 1.0960 area so far, while the pair is looking to consolidate the recent break above 1.0900.
Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, noted the pair “has sold off to and is recovering off the May low at 1.0819, directly below here lies the 1.0783 uptrend. We would allow for a rally towards the 1.0994 cloud and the rallies are likely to remain contained by the 1.1052 pivot (26th March high) and 1.1104 the near term resistance line”.
“The rating upgrade by S&P aside, Greek related news flow may continue to hold sway over the pair multi-session. For today, watch for Greek Parliament news flow with initial cap for the pair expected at 1.1000 while 1.0800 on the downside may prove a deeper line in the sand at this juncture”, suggested Emmanuel Ng, FX Strategist at OCBC Bank.
