EUR/USD reaches above 1.0700

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA


On Tuesday, the EUR/USD had continued the surge, which was started by the European Central Bank's 0.50% rate hike. During the start of this week, the pair reached above 1.0700, before consolidating. Note that the currency pair is bound to remain rather flat until the Wednesday's 18:00 GMT Federal Reserve Interest Rate hike and follow up press conference.

A potential extension of the surge due to less hawkish Fed could face resistance in the 1.0735/1.0760 zone. This zone captures the pair's March high levels. Higher above, the weekly R1 simple pivot point might slow down the Euro against the USD.

However, a larger than expected rate increase by the Federal Reserve is set to cause a drop of the currency exchange rate. In this case scenario, the pair would look for support in the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point near 1.0650. Below, 1.0650 note the February and March low level zone at 1.0515/1.0535.
