Market Analysis

EUR/USD barriers are back in focus as the pair continues to head lower. A break of the recent 1.2858 low could easily see the pair accelerate losses and the downward move to gather momentum, which would put reported barriers at 1.2850 under threat. While EUR/USD may still be trading above 1.2900–and 1.2850 should prove a tough nut to crack–those barriers are worth remembering, with barrier defense likely to be mounted ahead of the rate. EUR/USD trades at 1.2951.
