EUR/USD retests upper 1.0800s. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s outlook.

Bullish technical momentum builds

The technical trend in the EUR/USD pair remains positive, even with gains still blocked by resistance at 1.0880/1.0890. 

Steady gains from the mid-February low have the support of strong, bullish momentum on the intraday and daily DMI studies. The weekly DMI is moving into bullish territory as well.

A daily close above 1.0865 (38.2% Fib retracement of the December/February selloff) or a clear and sustained push through 1.0890 should drive more EUR gains towards 1.1000/1.1100
