EUR/CAD Slips Below 1.58 as French Political Jitters Weigh on the Euro
The EUR/CAD pair is trading lower today at 1.57075, pressured by ongoing political and fiscal concerns in France that are spilling over into broader Eurozone sentiment. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar has found some support from higher crude oil prices, keeping the cross under pressure.
Trend and momentum
The 4-hour trend structure is down, while the 1-hour structure is ranging. Momentum is weak, with the 1-hour RSI at 35.08 and the 4-hour RSI at 25.07, indicating oversold conditions on the higher timeframe. The 1-hour Bollinger Bands are inside with no squeeze, and the pair has used only 21% of its average daily range today.
Key levels
Key levels to watch include yesterday's high at 1.57913 and low at 1.5694. A break below the previous day's low of 1.5694, which aligns with the recent 4-hour low, could signal further downside momentum. On the upside, resistance lies at the 4-hour high of 1.59466 and last week's high of 1.59881. A push above yesterday's high would be needed to relieve immediate bearish pressure.
News and events this week
This week's economic calendar features Canadian Retail Sales on Friday, October 23, which could drive CAD volatility. For the Euro, markets are monitoring the fallout from French budget concerns and rising bond yields, alongside broader Eurozone data releases.
What would push it higher
If Canadian retail sales disappoint or oil prices retreat, the Euro could find a floor and attempt a recovery toward the 1.57913 level.
What would push it lower
If French political unrest intensifies or Canadian data comes in stronger than expected, the pair could break below the 1.5694 support level.
