The European market was shaken early on Monday, as news about the failure of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to form a coalition caused a massive selling spree for Euro bears.
As a result, the given currency fell 78 pips within the first two hours of today down to its two-month low of 131.40—an area that is reinforced by the 100-day SMA. However, the rate had recovered all of its lost positions by mid-Monday and returned near the lower channel boundary.
Technical indicators flash bearish signals, suggesting that the major resistance cluster formed by the 200– and 55-hour SMAs is likely to limit the pair near the 132.60 mark. The bottom daily barrier should be the aforementioned two-month low.
Meanwhile, the ECB President is to testify on two occasions at 1400GMT and 1600GMT later today.
