EUR/USD outlook

The short-term momentum now favors the US dollar ahead of the Asian session with the price back below the 20-hour moving average after retreating almost 50 pips from day’s high.

The pair is about is about to end the day far from highs, still in positive territory and still above the 20-say moving average and on top of the 1.1050 level; the last two could offer support. According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet an extension below 1.1050 “could see the pair extending its decline down to 1.1000, but further slide seem unlikely, unless US data surprise to the upside.”
