The last couple of weeks has seen the Euro meet significant selling pressure near the resistance level around 1.3160 and move away steadily. This level around 1.3160 has definitely played a role and placed excess supply pressure on the Euro, and the short term support level at 1.30 hasn't been as steadfast in maintaining price. Over the last week, the Euro has been resilient in trying to hold on to the 1.30 level however the pressure has pushed it lower resulting in it trading just below 1.29 for a short period late last week.
A few weeks ago the Euro rallied well and was able to push back off the support level at 1.28 and up towards 1.30 and then some, however the resistance level near 1.3160 stood firm and ably fended off advances. Since the Euro broke through 1.30 last week, the 1.29 has become a factor and is showing some support, after having done so a few weeks ago. The 1.28 level still looms large and remains a significant level and the Euro is likely to test this level again should it continue to ease away from 1.30. (Daily chart / 4 hourly chart below)
