Breaking News: EUR/USD falls fast below 1.1300, the former double-bottom, on USD strength

FX Street

The  EUR/USD  dropped below the former double-bottom of 1.1300. Cascading stop-losses sent the world’s No. currency pair down to 1.1268 in a quick movement.

1.1235 is seen as the next downside target for the EUR/USD, followed by 1.1220. Above 1.1300, resistance awaits at 1.1330.

The US Dollar is gaining ground, extending the moves seen last week. The Federal Reserve maintained its hawkish stance last week. While  Fed  Chair  Jerome Powell  and his colleagues left the interest rate unchanged, they left the door wide open to a rate hike in its December meeting.

In addition, concerns about Brexit also have an impact. Reports about a sharp disagreement in the UK government weighs on the Pound and on sentiment and also helped push the EUR/USD over the critical line.
