What's next? EUR/USD holds above 1.1000, but lose-lose conditions
FXStreet (Cocoa) - After a failed rally to 1.1080, the EUR/USD started a retracement toward the 1.1000 where it's trading right now. Investors were looking for new Greece headlines, but in a calm day with not too much Greek noise, they don't know where to go. Anyway, ECB monetary policy meeting will provide markets with fun this Thursday.
The EUR/USD continues to alternate positive with negative days as the pair started the week with big losses from the 1.1200 area before bouncing back to 1.1100 on Tuesday. However, the recovery failed and pair is now around 1.1000. On the week, EUR/USD is performing its third negative week in the last four.
Currently, EUR/USD is trading at 1.1008, up 0.06% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.1086 and low at 1.0965. EUR/USD spot is in neutral territory according to the hourly FXStreet OB/OS Index, while the FXStreet Trend Index also is neutral.
