- EUR continues to tumble as energy crisis worsens
News & AnalysisThe Euro has fallen to 20-year lows as it deals with increasing energy prices and increased bond yields as recession fears rise again. Across both the UK and Europe inflation has been especially high even compared other countries such as Australia and the USA and in response, the EUR has taken a large hit. The recent spike in energy prices has brought back fears into the market that inflation has not yet peaked and will continue to rise.
Two potential opportunities are on the EURCAD and the EURUSD.
Firstly, on the EURCAD the price is sitting just above its long term supports and its lowest levels since 2015. With seemingly no fundamental reason for the price to bounce in the short to medium term, it is possible the price sells through the 1.30 CAD level and falls further to the 1.21/1.20 level. The 50-week moving average is almost in a free fall as the currency continues to sell. In addition, the RSI, whilst in oversold territory, is forming a descending triangle. This indicates that sellers may be gearing up again to begin another move down below the 30 RSI level.
Whilst the EUR continues to be smashed there is always the potential that the market will see value and see a rally in the pair. Therefore, it is important to have risk management tools in place such as a stop loss. A stop loss could be set above 1.32 which would represent a potential risk reward of almost 2.5:1.
The EURUSD is following is showing an even more aggressive sell off. The EUR has fallen to 20-year lows vs the USD. The worrying sign is that the price has faced very little resistance since it began diving in January 2022. Every long-term support has been sold through with without much of a pullback. With the 1.00 USD level expected to be a tougher level to sell through, short opportunities still exist. The next level of support is around 0.95/0.96 USD which is the next logical target for a short entry. However, once it reaches this level, it may prove very difficult to fall lower as it would me mean breaching 50 year low prices.
