EUR/USD extends the bounce beyond 1.3590
FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) - The bloc currency keeps the upper band of the range on Wednesday, with the EUR/USD trading in the proximities of the key 1.3600 handle.
EUR/USD muted on German Gfk
The pair almost posted no reaction after the German Consumer Confidence sponsored by the Gfk Survey surprised investors, climbing to 7.4 for the month of December vs. forecasts and November’s print at 7.1. Previous data in the EMU showed Spanish Retail Sales contracting at an annual pace of 0.5% during October, down from the 2.2% expansion registered in September. “The next key visible resistance is expected towards 1.3600 but note that any further dovish rhetoric out of the ECB may place a damper on excessive upside expectations”, noted Emmanuel Ng, Analyst at OCBC Bank.
EUR/USD key levels
At the moment the pair is up 0.17% at 1.3592 with the next resistance at 1.3600 (high Nov.27) followed by 1.3628 (61.8% of 1.3822-1.3295) and then 1.3696 (low Oct.30). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.3558 (low Nov.27) would target 1.3515 (low Nov.26) en route to 1.3504 (MA21d).
