Will the EUR/USD reach the 1.3500 level?

The Euro continues falling today, but at a lower rate as we can see it on the 4 hour chart below of the EUR/USD. The recent fundamental data out of the United States has raised the probabilities of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve sooner than anticipated; this has caused the Dollar to gain strength. On the other hand, the European Central Bank has provided more economic stimulus to the Eurozone, causing the Euro to weaken. This is why we are seeing the EUR/USD in a sustained downtrend.

The next support level for the pair is the 1.3500 from where it may stall or try to bounce to the upside. There could be a lot of buy orders pending at that area and that could prevent the pair from going lower. However, if the fundamentals from the U.S. keep coming out better than expected, then the yield on the U.S. treasuries may widen further and cause the greenback to gain more strength. This in return could cause the EUR/USD to break below the 1.3500 level.

  2. Yes I think so; EURUSD is stuck in a 100 pip range between 1.35 and 1.36.
