EUR is expected to trade between 1.0430 and 1.0580

24-HOUR VIEW: “Following EUR sharp drop to 1.0459 on Monday, we highlighted yesterday (Tuesday) that ‘deeply oversold conditions and slowing momentum indicate that EUR is unlikely to weaken further.’ We expected EUR to ‘trade in a 1.0470/1.0540 range.’ Although our view of range trading was correct, EUR traded in a narrower range than expected (1.0479/1.0535), closing slightly higher at 1.0509 (+0.11%). The relatively quiet price action provides no fresh clues, and we continue to expect EUR to trade in a range, most likely between 1.0480 and 1.0535.”
