As you can see, the pair has rallied back above 1.2100 after  hitting a low of 1.1876 when it broke down from a descending triangle  formation. Though if you notice, the triangle\u2019s former support is now  acting as a resistance that is preventing the pair from moving higher.  In case this support-turned-resistance gets breached, the 3 Fibonacci  retracement levels that I marked are still present to possibly halt the  euro\u2019s ascent. On the flip side, the pair could revisits its 2010 low or  even mark a new one since its minimum downside target from its  breakdown from the triangle has not been met yet (check my previous post  on the pair <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2010\/06\/06\/the-euro-breakdown-june-7-2010\/\">here<\/a>).  Since the EUR is on a longer term downtrend, it has a higher chance of  moving lower in the next coming days or weeks against the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Fundamentally, most of the assets were actually trading in the red in  last Friday\u2019s US trading due to the  unexpected 1.2% slide in the US\u2019s  May headline retail sales. But equities as well as the euro eventually  got some support to lose the day back in green from the better than  expected University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment report for the month  of June. The account came in at 75.5 against the market\u2019s 74.5 forecast.  Still, given the uncertainties around the global market particularly in  Europe, the riskier assets like equities and the non-dollar currencies  like the euro could yet again face some selling pressure. remember that  Greece and its neighbor countries are very much far from getting out of  the debt woods. Until they do, the euro could conitnue to weaken versus  its major peers.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday (June 15), Germany\u2019s Zew economic sentiment index for June  will be on the deck. The index is seen to reach 48.7from 45.8. But due  to the latest debt fears in the euro zone which now inclaudes Hungary,  the index would more likely miss its target. If it does, the euro could  take a another hit.<\/p>\n<p>More on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on the fiber\u2019s (EURUSD) daily chart, it looks like that the euro is poised for another fall against the greenback.
