What can we expect from EURUSD for the new week and what happened on Friday?
EURUSD on Friday rose 0.01% to 1.10120. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising. For the week ending 2023-12-22, the pair rose 1.1% or 119.8 pips higher.
Looking ahead on Monday, EURUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 1.08914.
As for the new week, our technical outlook looks bullish, immediate upside resistance level at 1.10709 (WR1) with break above could target 1.11299 (WR2). On the downside, we are looking at week low of 1.08914 as an important support. Break below this level could weaken the current bullish momentum. A break above 1.10401 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the month of December, EURUSD is up by 1.16% or 125.9 pips higher.
