The last week has seen the Euro meet significant selling pressure near the resistance level around 1.3160 and move away steadily. In a positive sign, the Euro hasn't collapsed and completely given up on pushing higher however it has recently moved back through the 1.31 level and has been quite close to 1.30 to start this week. In the last couple of days, the Euro has been able to find support at 1.30 and has rallied a little moving up slowly towards 1.31. The recent resistance level around 1.3150 is likely to play a role again should the Euro be able to continues its rise.
In the last couple of weeks the Euro has rallied well and been 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 has stood firm and fended off advances. The 1.28 level still remains a significant level and the Euro is likely to test this level again should it continue to ease off from the resistance level above 1.3150 and fall below 1.30.
