Forex: EUR/USD eases to 1.3080/85

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The euro is now accelerating its correction lower towards the area of 1.3080/85 as risk aversion is creeping back to the markets ahead of the FOMC minutes.

“As we’ve pointed out recently though, the 1.3140/50 area (near the 100– and 50– day moving averages is the more important resistance level to watch. We become better buyer of a clean break above there, but would not be surprised to see a rejection lower in the short term”, commented S.Osborne and G.Moore, Strategists at TD Securities.

At the moment, the cross is flat at 1.3084 with the next resistance at 1.3135 (high Mar.8) ahead of 1.3163 (high Feb.28) and then 1.3229 (50% of Feb-Apr slide).
On the downside, a dip beyond 1.3006 (low Apr.9) would then target 1.2963 (low Apr.8) en route to 1.2928 (MA10d).

The USD continued to sell off overnight, particularly against hard currencies like the Aussie Dollar and Gold, as risk sentiment continues to abound throughout markets, largely controlled by events in Asia, which is becoming somewhat of the norm in 2013. According to the Investec Research Team, “The pound will certainly be looking to take advantage of any sustained weakness in US dollars but there remains a popular view that GBP/USD is still exposed to a short-term reversal to 1.5240 in light of a continued sluggish performance in Sterling.”
