According to UOB analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann, the EUR/USD currency pair is consolidating near the 1.16 level, with momentum indicators flattening on an intraday basis. However, the broader bias for the euro remains tilted to the downside, as recent price action has seen the euro decline to a low of 1.1594 two days ago and dip to 1.1592 during the Asian session before rebounding to a high of 1.1645 and closing at 1.1609, up 0.12% on the day [1].
The analysts highlight that a break below the key support level of 1.1590 would raise the risk of a further move toward 1.1555, which is viewed as a significant support and more vulnerable in the current environment. For the coming months, price action is expected to remain within a range of 1.1555 to 1.1750, with the lower bound under particular scrutiny [1].
In the short term, UOB expects the euro to trade in a range between 1.1590 and 1.1640, as momentum indicators are turning flat. The likelihood of a clear break below 1.1590 persists as long as the 1.1655 resistance level is not breached [1].
No specific market reactions or analyst opinions beyond the technical outlook are provided in the source article [1].
CONCLUSION
The euro is facing downside risks against the US dollar, with key support levels at 1.1590 and 1.1555 in focus. While short-term consolidation is expected, a break below these supports could signal further weakness for the currency pair.
