24 hour view: We indicated yesterday that “the current price movement appears to be part of a consolidation phase” and expected EUR/USD to trade in a 1.0910/1.0970 range. Subsequently, EUR/USD traded between 1.0905 and 1.0946. Price appears to be consolidating further, but the slightly weakening underlying tone suggests that EUR/USD is likely to range lower at 1.0890/1.0950.

Next 1-3 weeks: We have maintained a positive view on the EUR/USD for more than a week. In our most recent analysis last Friday (June 16, EUR/USD at 1.0940), we noted that “EUR/USD is likely to continue rising, albeit at a slower pace” and added that “the next level to watch is 1.1000”. We remain of the same view, although overbought conditions could lead to a consolidation in 1-2 days first. In general, only a break of 1.0845 (no change at the “strong support” level) would indicate that 1.1000 is out of reach this time.
