EUR/USD – Rebounds Off Lows, Spec Long Bet Build Will Limit Rallies

The Euro rebounded off its low traded 1.11682 over the weekend, ending a 4-day losing streak to finish at 1.1265 in late New York. EUR/USD rallied further in early Asian trade to 1.1281 before easing to settle at its current 1.1277. The shared currency benefited from the broad-based US Dollar fall and rise in risk appetite. The news of a possible fresh Spanish stimulus also lifted the Euro.

Market positioning in the Euro remains long at dangerous levels.

EUR/USD has immediate resistance today at 1.1300, 1.1330 and 1.1360. Immediate support lies at 1.1250, 1.1220 and 1.1180. Look for consolidation today into the global PMI data and any fresh news on Covid-19 with a likely range between 1.1240-1.1340. Prefer to sell into any rally.
