- EUR/USD resumes its downtrend and tests support at 1.1600.
- US and Iran exchange attacks, and Oil rises, crushing risk appetite.
- Below 1.1600, bears are likely to target the bottom of the last two weeks' trading range at 1.1570.
The Euro (EUR) resumed its downtrend against a stronger US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday, with bears testing support at the 1.1600 level. Market concerns of a full-blown war in the Middle East have increased, following hostilities in the Middle East, pushing Oil prices higher and crushing investors' appetite for risk.
Market sentiment soured on Wednesday amid reports of US attacks on Iran and Iranian missile and drone strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain that are testing the limits of a fragile ceasefire. Apart from that, Al Jazeera news agency has reported an Israeli attack on the outskirts of Beirut, adding gasoline to the fire.
Against this background, the upward revisions of the final HCOB Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and the high Producer Prices Index (PPI) released in the Eurozone on Wednesday have gone practically unnoticed. In the US, ADP Employment and the ISM Services PMI will gather some attention later on the day. Earlier in the week, bright JOLTS Job Openings and manufacturing activity data contributed to boost hopes of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike before year-end, providing additional support for the USD-.
Technical Analysis: Key support is at 1.1570
EUR/USD trades at 1.1615 amid a negative near-term tone, with bears eyeing the 1.1600 support area. The pair remains trading within the last two weeks' range with momentum indicators reinforcing the soft bias. The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) is lingering just below the 50 line, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows growing bearish pressure.
A confirmation below the 1.1600 area, which contained downside attempts on Monday, and is holding bears so far on Wednesday, would bring the bottom of the range, at the 1.1570 level (May 21 low), back to the focus. Further down, April's bottom at the 1.1505-1.1525 area emerges as the next target.
On the topside, the 1.1660 area has been capping upside attempts since mid-May and is likely to test potential bullish reversals. Above that level, the next targets are the May 14 high, at 1.1720, and May's peak, in the 1.1790 area.
