EUR / USD – Consolidating Well Just Above the Key 1.29 Support Level

Loading...

For the last few weeks, the Euro has retraced from its highs near 1.32. The 1.30 level was able to provide some support a couple of weeks ago however the Euro has since broken through. Since that time, it has attempted to cling onto the 1.30 level, however a couple of weeks ago it was sold heavily at any price above 1.30.

It finished last week with a sharp fall which saw it drop 100 pips and settle well below the 1.29 level. To start this week, the Euro has rallied well and for the most part of the last 48 hours, it has been able to sit above the key 1.29 level. Above that, the 1.30 level still looms like a dark cloud as a potential significant resistance level (Daily chart / 4 hourly chart below)
