What’s in store for EUR/USD today? – Commerzbank and OCBC Bank

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency remains entrenched into the negative ground in the middle of the week, trading around 1.0700 the figure after posting fresh 12-year lows around 1.0660 overnight.

Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, argued the pair “continues to dive lower and remains on a collision course with the base of the 30 year channel located at 1.0573.This is major technical support and it is expected to hold the initial test. A weekly close below here will introduce scope to the 1.00/0.9900 zone”.

“Technical talks between the left-wing government in Greece and the troika today may be expected to continue to keep the EUR-USD in the shade, especially if the current bearish momentum doesn’t let up”, added Emmanuel Ng, FX Strategist at OCBC Bank.
