EUR/USD churning below 1.3567 resistance; eyeing happenings in Washington
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - With a very quiet economic calendar and traders still working off the hangover from Wednesday’s action, the EUR/USD may not do much headed into the weekend.
With little / no economic news due out, traders get to focus on Washington politics
There are virtually no meaningful announcements due from the EU or the U.S. Friday, so EUR/USD traders will have to focus their attention on the less-than-appetizing combination of Washington politics and speeches given by lesser “Fed heads”.
Ongoing debate and posturing regarding Obamacare and the US budget will be enough to sour even the most optimistic viewers. In addition, three FOMC voices will be heard from the pulpit – none of whom are Ben Bernanke or Janet Yellen so don’t expect much market movement off of that).
Technical outlook for EUR/USD
Technicians say the EURUSD’s rally may have peaked out for the time being – but a minor pullback to around 1.3500 may be all that is offered to the bears for the very short-term. Tim Thielen of Sea Change Capital wrote in his most recent piece for FX Street that after a small pullback, we should see a re-test of Wednesday’s high which should then be followed by a pullback to the low 1.34s.
