Analysts at ANZ Banking Group claim that if the single currency falls versus the greenback getting below the 100-day MA at $1.4273, it may slump firstly, to June 16 minimum at $1.4074 and then to $1.3903 (50% Fibonacci retracement of this year’s advance from $1.2867 to $1.4940) that is the 3 1/2-month minimum.

The specialists claim that the euro has formed consolidation pattern since May 23 to July 4 between the uptrend line connecting the minimums of May 23, June 16 and June 27 and the downtrend line linking the maximums of June 7 and July 4. In their view, the pair EUR/USD currently risks to survive another decline of the similar magnitude as at the beginning of May.

Yesterday the European currency hit the lowest level since June 27 at $1.4220 before returning to the levels above $1.4300.
