What can we expect from EURUSD for the new week and what happened on Friday?

EURUSD on Friday rose 0.19% to 1.06932. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling but in oversold zone. For the week ending 2023-02-17, the pair rose 0.17% or 17.8 pips higher.

Looking ahead on Monday after previous session, EURUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 1.06110.

For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last week high of 1.08044 or at least trades above Weekly Pivot level of 1.07029. On the downside, we are looking at last week low 1.06110 or 1.06013 (WS1) as immediate support level. EURUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.08044 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.

For the month of February, EURUSD is down by -1.56% or -169.4 pips lower.
