What a last couple of weeks the Euro has had. Not so long ago we were waiting for it to move through 1.26 as it met stiff resistance there. A move back towards 1.30 seemed likely however it was also reasonable to expect some more stiff resistance to emerge at that level considering it provided significant support for the Euro way back in February to April. This didn’t seem to occur as the Euro cruised up to 1.30, stopped for several hours and then continued right on.
Despite the Euro breaking through this key level, it remains significant and relevant as the Euro is likely to receive support at this level should it retrace a little.  (Daily chart / 4 hourly chart below)
