What’s the sentiment around the EUR/USD today? – Commerzbank and OCBC Bank
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The EUR/USD remains isolated around the 1.3800 mark on Wednesday, as market participants wait for EMU’s CPI figures (0.8% exp.).
In the opinion of Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, “Currently we remain unable to rule out an extension to the 1.3967 recent high and possibly the two resistance lines at 1.4008 and 1.4016, we look for these latter levels to hold the topside. We view the longer term pattern as a potential bearish wedge”.
In addition, Emmanuel Ng, FX Strategist at OCBC Bank, noted, “After softening on Tuesday on the back of the softer than expected German inflation and EZ confidence indices,, the EUR-USD may cling on to the 1.3800 region pending the EZ inflation readings (0900 GMT) today. We stay flat to supported in the interim with the 55-day MA (1.3797) expected to serve a s a near term support while 1.8880 should cap for now”.
