"There is still prevailing dollar weakness from quantitative easing in the U.S. and the euro has come out in a new range which looks like it will be more stubborn"- Investec (based on CNBC)
Pair's Outlook
Bearish correction drags on, putting expectations for continuation of a recovery under threat of being shattered. EUR/USD is persistently moving towards an uptrend support line and the 200 day SMA at 1.2802/1.2765. Nevertheless, for now downward momentum is not deemed to be strong enough to violate them, therefore we favour a rebound from there, although the possibility of an alternative scenario may not be ruled out yet.
Traders' Sentiment
General sentiment of the market remains negative with respect to EUR/USD, since 61% of positions opened on the pair are short, whereas only 39% of traders support stronger Euro. As for the orders, 55% of them are to buy the single currency and 45% are to sell it against the U.S. Dollar.
