United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann report that EUR/USD is experiencing a short-term downside bias after breaking below the 1.1720 level, reaching a low of 1.1702. However, they do not anticipate a move to the major support at 1.1665 in the immediate term, citing that the increase in downward momentum is not sufficient to trigger a deeper decline at this stage. There is another support level at 1.1685, while resistance is noted at 1.1730, with a breach of 1.1745 indicating potential stabilization in the pair's decline [1].
For the coming weeks, UOB expects EUR/USD to trade within a defined range of 1.1665 to 1.1795, narrowing their previous range estimate. Despite the recent downward pressure, the strategists maintain that the pair is likely to remain rangebound in the near term. In the longer term, they still see scope for further Euro upside, but identify 1.1800 as a key barrier that must be overcome for additional gains [1].
No specific market reactions or analyst opinions beyond UOB's technical outlook are discussed in the source article. The analysis emphasizes that while short-term risks are tilted to the downside, the overall market impact is expected to be contained within the defined trading range [1].
CONCLUSION
UOB strategists see EUR/USD under short-term downside pressure but expect the pair to remain rangebound between 1.1665 and 1.1795. The outlook suggests limited market impact unless key support or resistance levels are breached.
