EUR-USD: More Strength Likely

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.

NEW YORK (fxtechstrategy.com) -- Following a third week of gains, the euro-dollar currency pair is expected to see further bull pressure toward the 1.3483 level.

A breach will pave the way for a move further higher toward 1.3547, EUR-USD's Dec. 2 high.

A violation of that level will leave the pair to target its weekly 200-day exponential moving average at 1.3642.

EUR-USD's weekly relative strength index is bullish and pointing higher, supporting this view.

Conversely, the risk to this analysis will be a return to 1.3003, the euro-dollar's March low, followed by the 1.2975 level.

If the latter level is broken, EUR-USD likely will move lower toward 1.2879, the pair's Jan. 23 low.

Further down, support lies at the 1.2620 level. All in all, however, EUR remains biased to the upside.
