EURUSD Momentum Narrows Gap To Cluster Resistance

EURUSD
  • The significant strength in the single currency following the ECB’s press conference has seen EURUSD blow through many noted resistance levels including the 50-day exponential moving average and the bear channel top drawn from the June 1, 2021 high.
  • With the rally showing few signs of abating, we note the pair narrowing the gap with cluster resistance just ahead of the 1.1500 mark that may prove a short-term obstacle for renewed Euro optimism.
  • The January 14 high at 1.1483 is a key resistance but just above the year’s high we highlight an important 50% Fibonacci retracement, taken from the 2020 - 2021 range. The level resides at 1.1493 which is significantly just two pips away from the March 2020, pandemic highs at 1.1495.
  • German factory orders, French IP and Eurozone retail sales data should all play second fiddle to the January US employment report due at 1330GMT/0830ET
