"The euro is still likely to move a bit higher. The momentum is not over yet. It may see a dip down toward $1.30 again, but it won't go much below that"- Steve Barrow, Standard Bank (based on CNBC)
Pair's Outlook
After four straight days of gains EUR/USD is finally making a downward correction. Extension of the dip down to 1.3012 or 1.2935 will not put the bullish medium term outlook under risk, but will rather imply a consolidation phase. However, a breach of 1.2879/56 and 1.2806/1.2758 (200 day SMA) will be a strong bearish signal.
Traders' Sentiment
Perception of the market that EUR/USD is to fall did not change, as majority of traders (61%) continue to hold short positions on the pair, as the U.S. Dollar is presently one of the most popular currencies, being acquired in 66% of cases on average in SWFX marketplace.
