EUR/USD Price Forecast, Analysis and Chart:
EUR/USD Trades Below 1.1100 for The First Time in Three-Weeks
EUR/USD continues to fade lower in 2020 with the pair briefly breaking below 1.1100 before a mild pullback.
A combination of weak Euro-Zone economic data and a resurgent US dollar weighs on the pair with traders now looking ahead to Friday’s US Labor Report (Non-Farm Payrolls) for further USD guidance.The latest CoT also showed that Euro short positions continued to build, adding further pressure on the single currency.
US Dollar Longs Slashed, GBP/USD Most Bullish Since May 2018 – COT Report
The pair now trade below both the 50- and the 200-dma, a negative sign, and near the 20-dma, currently situated at 1.1092. A break lower would leave the December 20 higher low (1.1066) the next downside target and a comprehensive break of this level would increase negative sentiment for the pair and open the way to the November 29 low print at 1.0981.To the upside, a cluster of dmas and old highs up to 1.1176 may prove difficult for EUR/USD to overcome in the short-term, while the recent five-month high of 1.1240 is likely to remain untested.
