EUR/USD to head towards the 1.1700 level

The EUR/USD pair ended last week little changed, although it posted a lower low for the third consecutive week. EUR/USD briefly pierced the 61.8% retracement of its November/January rally at 1.1885, settling a handful of pips above it. The pair is at risk of falling further, according to FXStreet’s Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik.
