EUR/USD Price Forecast – Euro Roles Over As Fear Continues

The Euro rallied initially during the trading session on Friday again, but as time wore on, the market participants started selling it in order to form a rather bearish looking candlestick. Ultimately, the 1.10 level is a major area and it makes sense that resistance would show up in this area. At this point, the market looks very likely to go looking towards the lows again, because quite frankly we are in a large downtrend and quite frankly the European Union is starting to see an explosion in coronavirus cases. I do believe that the market is starting to look at the fact that the European Union is almost into a recession, and certainly looks as if it is going to head in that direction.

To the upside, the market does break above the top of the candlestick for the day, then we could see a bit of a melt up, but I don’t think that’s going to be the case. Quite frankly as we go to the weekend a lot of people will have wanted to close the long position that they may have had in the Euro, as the US dollar continues to offer safety over the longer term. Granted, there was a repricing of the US dollar due to concerns about the coronavirus expanding in the United States, but at the end of the day we are in a downtrend and nothing has changed in the European Union, and therefore we should continue to see plenty of weakness.
