EUR/USD in fresh 5-week highs around 1.3230
FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) -The euro is accelerating its pace now, lifting the EUR/USD to fresh highs in the boundaries of 1.3230, levels last seen in late June.
EUR/USD bolstered by USD weakness
The heavy selling is still hovering over the greenback, testing the key support at 82.00 and posting multi-week lows at the same time in terms of the US Dollar Index. BBH Global Currency Strategy Team suggested, “Even though the greater uncertainty about the timing of Fed tapering remains the strongest driver in FX markets, the news flow out of Europe also supports our near-term dollar consolidation call. We see scope for the euro to stage a break of the $1.3250 level this week. On the other hand, a move down to the $1.3050-80 area would put this view in doubt”.
EUR/USD critical levels
At the moment the pair is up 0.28% at 1.3223 and a break above1.3255 (high Jun.21) would open the door to 1.3261 (76.4% of 1.3417-1.2755) and then 1.3302 (high Jun.20). On the downside, support levels align at 1.3164 (low Jul.23) followed by 1.3115 (low Jul.22) and finally 1.3106 (cloud base).
