The fall was 126 points and stopped near the 112<sup>th<\/sup> degree. The dollar rose after the release of strong data from the US and Yellen speaking before congress. The Fed chief said that the US economy is now showing persistent success and a tightening of monetary policy could be viable. Her announcement increased further the likelihood that the Fed will increase the interest rate at their December meeting. Additional pressure on the euro came from the sales of American and European bonds.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Market expectations:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Asia the euro dropped to 1.0582. The price bounced from 135 degrees and the MA line D3. Investors are continuing to sell off bonds. The yield for 10-year American bonds has increased by 2.18% to 2.328%.<\/p>\n<p>The expectations of a rate rise and bond sales mean that we\u2019re nearing parity. Over the last fortnight the euro has lost 7 figures (700 points) against the dollar. After president-elect Trump\u2019s victory the euro has only looked down.<\/p>\n<p>The price has reached a key support at 1.0597 and I mentioned this yesterday. Let\u2019s have another look at the weekly time frame (see below).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Day\u2019s News (GMT+3):<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list list_type_disc\">\n<li>13:30, SNB\u2019s Maechler and Bundesbank\u2019s Weidmann, in addition to Saint Louis Fed\u2019s Bullard to speak;<\/li>\n<li>16:30, Canadian CPI for October;<\/li>\n<li>17:30, Kansas city Fed\u2019s George to speak;<\/li>\n<li>18:00, US index for leading indicators from Conference Board for October.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Technical Analysis:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alpari.ru\/data\/media\/trunk\/images\/Analytics\/2016\/11\/eurw_181116.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Euro\/ rate on the weekly.

This has made a line which runs through the 1.0462 and 1.0517 minimums.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure on the euro is massive. If the protective stops below the line for long positions pop off, the euro can\u2019t avoid a further fall.

Due to this I reckon we\u2019ll see a hunt for stops taking place and a test of 1.0565. Since the price is at an important support level, I think we will see a sharp upward bounce from 1.0565. If we don\u2019t then there are two target levels for the euro weakening that I have highlighted on the graph.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If the yields for American and European bonds fall then there will be a fall in the quotes via a bounce to 1.0633. It\u2019s likely that we will even see a jump to 1.0644 (38.2% from 1.0746 to 1.0582).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Article by <a href=\"http:\/\/Alpari.com\" target=\"_blank\">Alpari.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0Gabriel Ojimadu, Alpari Previous: On Thursday the euro\/dollar fell from a session minimum of 1.0746 to 1.0620.
