INTRADAY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS MAY 10th (observation as of  05:30 UTC)

[EURUSD]

Important Levels to Watch for:

-        Resistance line of 1.09852

-        Support line of 1. 09423

Commentary/ Reason:

1.      The price was on a strong uptrend on the dollar weakness but eventually dropped lower to its support level before rebounding.

2.      The Euro is losing strength after US debt ceiling stays unresolved after recent banking crisis saw the dollar plummeted, but it is already recovering.

3.      There is inflation reading coming in today (CPI) and investor are warned to take caution as it will affect the volatility of currency.

4.      The price is expected to trade below but have some room to recover to either resistance level at 1.09852 or 1.10112 but it is still a seller’s market even if the upside potential is real.

5.      If the price break below support at 1.09423 without rebounding higher at Fibonacci 61.8% before continuing, the price is expected to fall lower. It is sure to happen if CPI reported lower than current consensus.
