​​​EUR/USD sees a bounce

Following six straight days of falling prices, EUR/USD saw a minor bounce on Wednesday which is likely to run out of steam ahead of or within the $1.0695 to $1.0725 resistance area.

​Support sits between Tuesday's low at $1.0601 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the October-to-December advance at $1.0596. Below this level the late October lows at $1.0522 to $1.0517 as well as the $1.0449 October low remain to be seen.

​EUR/GBP probes downtrend line

EUR/GBP has overcome the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at £0.855 and reached the November-to-April downtrend line at £0.8571 which caps for now. If bettered, the £0.8582 to £0.8586 zone would be in sight.

Support is seen along the 55-day SMA at £0.855.
