24-HOUR VIEW: “EUR rose to 1.0442 on Wednesday and then pulled back. Yesterday (Thursday), we highlighted that ‘the pullback in overbought conditions and slowing momentum suggest that instead of continuing to rise, EUR is likely to trade between 1.0360 and 1.0430’. EUR then traded in a lower and narrower range of 1.0350/1.0406, closing lower by 0.20% at 1.0381 (-0.20%). The current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, probably between 1.0355 and 1.0415.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Our most recent narrative was from two days ago (05 Feb, spot at 1.0375), wherein “the outlook is unclear for now, and EUR could trade in a broad range of 1.0250/1.0490 for the time being.” We continue to hold the same view.”
