The EUR/USD pair extended its sell-off in the early morning as the US Dollar Index has managed to reach new highs. The currency pair dropped to as much as 1.0821 where it has found support. Now, it is trading at the 1.0884 level and is fighting hard to recover.
Later, the German Retail Sales may report a 1.9% growth versus a 5.5% drop in the previous reporting period, the German Factory Orders may register a 0.9% growth in January versus 2.8% in December, while the Sentix Investor Confidence is expected at 5.1 points.
EUR/USD Bounces Back
The euro needs strong support from the Eurozone economy to be able to recover versus the greenback. Technically, the price found support on the 250% Fibonacci line of the sideways pitchfork. It has registered a false breakout below this dynamic support level.
As you can see, the quote bounced back, but the pressure remains high. The pair can drop deeper anytime, that's why you have to be careful. The current rebound could help sellers to catch a new selling opportunity.
EUR/USD Outlook
The EUR/USD pair maintains a bearish bias. It could drop deeper anytime if the Dollar Index jumps higher. A valid breakout below the 250% Fibonacci line and below 1.0850 may bring new short opportunities.
Actually, great selling opportunities could appear if the EUR/USD pair comes back to test and retest 1.0950 or the 1.1 psychological level.
