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.
