EURUSD Outlook & Forecast
EURUSD is currently in a corrective uptrend after hitting a 12-year low of 1.0461 on March 13, 2015. Today, it trades around 1.1150, fairly close to its recent high of 1.1391. Several factors explain this rise. First, the US economy showed mild contraction in the early months of 2015. Many analysts blame the strong US Dollar for this slowdown. If that view is correct, further USD gains could threaten the positive outlook for the US economy in 2015.
Forecasting EURUSD
Here is our forecast for EURUSD:
■ Short-Term: The short-term trend favors the Euro. The main agreement between the Eurogroup and Greece is expected around May 27th or 29th, 2015. Technically, the support level at 1.1065 is crucial. If EURUSD holds this level, it will signal a strong continuation of the current uptrend.
■ Mid-Term: The mid-term outlook for EURUSD is uncertain. The recent 12-year low suggests the depreciation happened too fast, so the Euro could rebound further against the US Dollar in the coming weeks. There is a possibility that EURUSD could rise to 1.2490. The resistance level at 1.1610 will be important if reached.
■ Long-Term: The long-term trend still favors the US Dollar. In the next 6-8 months, EURUSD is likely to reach 1:1, and technical analysis suggests it could even drop to 0.86. A recent Morgan Stanley report supports this forecast.
