EUR/USD - 1.2124
Euro’s erratic rise last week from 1.2058 (Wednesday) to 1.2155 on Friday suggests further volatile swings above January’s 6-week trough at 1.2055 would continue and as long as Friday’s 1.2094 low holds, marginal gain can’t be ruled out, however, reckon pivotal res at 1.2190 should cap upside n yield decline later.

On the downside, a daily close below 1.2094 would bring weakness towards 1.2055, break would extend recent decline towards 1.2011.

The euro area countries will release a slew of eco. data in European morning, pls refer to our EI page for details and pay attention to German retail sales, then mfg PMI releases from Italy, France, Germany and the EU.

EUR/USD - 1.2078
Euro’s selloff on Monday from 1.2144 to as low as 1.2056 suggests early correction from January’s 1.2055 low has ended, below would extend recent fall from January’s near 33-month peak at 1.2549 towards 1.2011 before prospect of a recovery due to loss of near term downward momentum.

Only above 1.2094/99 ‘prolongs’ volatile swings above 1.2055 and may risk another rise towards 1.2144 but reckon 1.2155 may cap upside.

EUR/USD - 1.2045
Despite yesterday’s resumption of recent decline from January’s near 33-month peak at 1.2349 to a 2-month bottom of 1.2011 in New York, subsequent rebound in tandem with rally in US stocks suggests temporary low is made, a daily close above 1.2055 (January low, now res) is needed to bring stronger retracement to 1.2085/95 but 1.2155 should remain intact this week.

Below 1.2011 would extend marginal weakness, however, loss of downward momentum is expected to keep price above 1.1976 and bring correction later.

EUR/USD - 1.2038 Despite Wed’s marginal weakness to a fresh 2-month trough of 1.2003 (Reuters) in New York morning , failure to penetrate psychological 1.2000 handle and subsequent rebound suggests recent decline has made a temporary low and range trading is in store, above 1.2049/55 res would bring stronger gain towards 1.2087 before retreat.

Only below 1.2000 risks one more fall, however, weakening of downward momentum is likely to keep price above 1.1976 and yield a much-needed correction later today or tomorrow.

Eco. data in the euro area countries is pretty thin today with EU’s Dec retail sales being the only data due out.

EUR/USD - 1.1967
Yesterday’s firm break of ‘psychological’ 1.2000 handle and then weakness to a fresh 2-month low at 1.1958 due to continued usd’s strength suggests recent decline from Jan’s 1.2349 high remains in force, however, oversold condition is expected to keep price above 1.1898/03 and yield a much-needed minor correction early next week.

On the upside, only a daily close above 1.2000 signals temporary bottom is in place and risks stronger retracement to 1.2040/50.

Ahead of U.S. jobs report, the euro area countries will release a slew of eco. data (please refer to EI page for details) n pay attention to German industrial orders, if actual reading comes in weaker than forecast, this will give traders another reason for more euro bashing but beware of intra-day rebound due to pre-NFP short covering.

A daily close below 1.2000 signals recovery has ended and brings re-test of 1.1953 later. Only above 1.2087 risks stronger correction of said decline, then price may head back towards 1.2155 ‘later’ this week.

Although this week’s decline from 1.2169 (Tuesday) to 1.2024 on Wednesday suggests recent upmove from February’s 2-month bottom at 11.1953 has possibly ended there, yesterday’s rebound on broad-based usd’s retreat suggests sideways swings are in store with a ‘neutral’ bias.

As long 1.2049 holds, stronger retracement towards 1.2123 can’t be ruled out but reckon 1.2141/44 would cap upside. below 1.2049 signals recovery over and yields subsequent weakness to 1.2019/24.
