EUR/USD 1.3000 barrier too tough to summit

In these moments, the EUR/USD is incurring a minor loss of -0.02%, however it remains below several formerly broken supports, lending weakness to the pair – at this juncture the pair is settling at 1.2975 at the time of writing.

“Trading at fresh 4-week lows, the EUR/USD has reached a recent depth of 1.2962 (yesterdays low), with strong bearish momentum in the hourly chart that supports further slides ahead: the 1.2940/50 area has probe strong in the past, so some buying interest could surge on approaches to it.” notes Valeria Bednarik an analyst at FXstreet.com.
