FOREX: EURUSD Pressing Fresh Weekly Lows, Breaching S-T Trendline Support
Apr-30 15:45
Broad single currency weakness playing out in the aftermath of month-end, prompting EURUSD to press fresh weekly lows below 1.1330. In the process, EURUSD is testing below a short-term trendline with multiple touches (hourly chart attached).
While the recent pullback in EURUSD is considered corrective and the bullish trend structure is unchanged for now, the pair’s ability to gain traction above 1.14 this week appears a relatively bearish development at the margin. A break of the April 23 low at 1.1308 would focus the market on key support at the 20-day EMA (1.1251), of which a break would signal scope for a deeper corrective pullback towards 1.1144 initially.
Despite the weaker equity benchmarks, the likes of EURAUD and EURCAD are underperforming, both down ~0.6% on the session. Notably, EURJPY has had a near 100 pip pullback to print a new session low by one pip at 161.71. This narrows the gap to the first EURJPY support at 161.43, the 50-day EMA.
