We continue to maintain the same view. Looking ahead, the next support level below the support zone is at 1.0775. At this time, the probability of the EUR going down to this level. is low. To the upside, a break of 1.0950 (the ‘strong resistance level’ was at 1.0960 yesterday) would indicate that the EUR weakness that began earlier this month has stabilized.”
