  • RES 4: 1.0937 High Nov 5 / 6 and a key resistance  
  • RES 3: 1.0825 High Nov 7 
  • RES 2: 1.0689 50-day EMA
  • RES 1: 1.0566/0630 20-day EMA / High Dec 06
  • PRICE: 1.0465 @ 06:02 GMT Dec 13
  • SUP 1: 1.0425/0335 Low Nov 26 / 22 and the bear trigger   
  • SUP 2: 1.0311 1.382 proj of the Sep 25 - Oct 23 - Nov 5 price swing
  • SUP 3: 1.0258 1.500 proj of the Sep 25 - Oct 23 - Nov 5 price swing  
  • SUP 4: 1.0201 61.8% retracement of the Sep 28 - Juk 18 bull leg     

EURUSD has traded lower this week and the pair maintains a softer tone. Resistance at 1.0557, the 20-day EMA, is intact. A close above this average would signal scope for a stronger corrective recovery towards 1.0680, the 50-day EMA. An extension higher would allow for a continued unwinding of the recent oversold condition. Support at 1.0461, the Dec 2 low, has been pierced. A clear break would expose 1.0335, the Nov 22 low and bear trigger.

  • 10yr Dec'24 futures remain in a bearish trend with last week’s move lower reinforces the downtrend and the contract is trading closer to its recent lows.

Initial firm resistance is seen at 111-29+, the 20-day EMA.
  • Overnight the selloff led to a sharp tightening of SOFR 10yr swap spreads, which dropped around 3bps, marking the largest one-day tightening since March 2023. The spreads fell to -48bps after peaking at -46.8bps earlier in the session, the move follows a period of spread widening after the US election, reflecting investor reactions to potential deregulation.
