Flash: EUR/USD faces neutral intraday outlook – UBS

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - UBS Strategists, Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu take a technical perspective at today's EUR crosses and note that there is a generally neutral-trending bias ahead.

“The latest strength of the EUR/USD suggests there is potential for extension to test the resistance at 1.3194 and then 1.3243. Support is at 1.2934 ahead of 1.2797, indicating a neutral outlook” the analysts note. In terms of the EUR/CHF, there is a strong support at 1.2329. While this holds and as MACD is above its zero line, the potential is for resumption of upside – resistance is at 1.2487 ahead of 1.257.

Moving to the EUR/GBP, the recent setback was prompted by an important resistance at 0.8607. A break above which would extend the strength to 0.8656. Support is at 0.8475 ahead of 0.8421. Finally, concerning the EUR/JPY, the cross is under consolidation phase and a closing cross higher in momentum would resume the broader bull trend. Resistance is at 132.15 ahead of 134.38, while support is at 128.98 ahead of 128.19.
