EURUSD Technical Levels to Watch
EURUSD is 0.07% lower at 1.0795 ahead of the ECB minutes that are scheduled for release later today. EURUSD outlook is negative and any upward moves should be considered as a selling opportunity.
On the downside, the daily low at 1.0777 would provide the first support for the pair. If EURUSD breaks below the next target would be the 1.0708 low from April 20, 2017. More bids for Euro might emerge at 0.0681 the low from April 21, 2017.
On the flip side, first resistance for the pair stands at 1.0815 the daily high. A break above would meet the next resistance at 1.0850 the high from February 17. Next critical level to watch on the upside is the February 12th high at 1.0925.
