EUR/USD maintains bearish pressure, 1.3390 is critical support Thursday
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - EUR/USD has slipped another 20-25 pips in Asia, with buying interest still nowhere to be found, as the pair now approaches a key area of support for Thursday at 1.3090/1.34.
USD strength was the dominant theme in Asia, mainly led through a stronger USD/JPY on a bullish Nikkei. In the European session, an array of European flash PMI indicators will be key event risks to watch out for.
A break below 1.3090 would be quite damaging technically, as the level is also supported by the 61.8% of Nov rally, possibly "the last line in the sand' buyers are trying to defend before admitting defeat for a potential retest of 1.33/1.3290 lows.
Furthermore, the huge bearish outside day Wed does not bode well for any major recovery in the Euro, with 1.3480 - sequence of lows Sept/Oct - the first area that should be retaken ahead of 1.35 round number.
