Short-term outlook

The Euro is having its worst week against the US Dollar since September 2022 so far. The short-term bias for EUR/USD is bearish. “The 1.0800 level is the natural immediate support, en route to 1.0745, the 61.8% retracement of the 2022 yearly decline. A break below the latter should open the door for a long-term USD rally. The 1.0980/1.1000 area will be a tough bone to break now, although if the pair manages to recover above it, 1.1100 is a possible target”, said Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analysts at FXStreet.
