EUR/USD digested SNB rumours

The pair has faded the spike to the mid-1.1300s following the appreciations by SNB’s Danthine indicating that the Swiss central bank stays ready to intervene in the FX markets as it sees convenient. Without data in the euro area today, market participants will turn their focus on the US calendar, where Durable Goods Orders and the Consumer Confidence will be the main highlights and thus potential drivers for the pair’s price action.

EUR/USD key levels

At the moment the pair is advancing 0.25% at 1.1291 and a breakout of 1.1358 (100-h MA) would open the door to 1.1376 (high Jan.23) and finally 1.1389 (50% of 1.1680-1.1098). On the flip side, the immediate support lines up at 1.1224 (hourly low Jan.27) ahead of 1.1098 (11-year low Jans.26) and then 1.1047 (low Sep.8 2003).
