EUR/USD dips below 1.07 in post Fed hangover

EUR/USD benefited quite a lot from the Fed’s  relatively dovish tone towards rates.  The pair climbed before the publication and jumped to resistance at 1.0910. It even made a flash move to 1.1025.

However, as European traders reach their desks, the tide is turning and the pair is down to 1.07. The low so far is 1.0695, but the pair managed to recapture this level. Update: a second wind lower follows and the new low is 1.0678. Can it return to lower levels soon?

Janet Yellen and her colleagues did express some worries about  the “moderating” economic recovery. Did they want a pause in dollar strength? Perhaps. And more importantly, the median of forecasts for the FFR dropped from 1.125 to 0.625 at the end of 2015.

Some support is found at 1.0665, followed by 1.0560, which has proved pivotal a few times in the past. On the upside, 1.0825 is a resistance of sorts, and 1.0910 is higher resistance.
