EUR/USD eyes on Greece

The Greek front will be the main driver for the EUR in the near to medium term, as speculations that the country might be forced to leave the euro area continue to build up. There is no fresh news regarding the situation, with permanent market chatter being behind the occasional fireworks in the pair.

Ahead in the session, market participants will closely follow the Fed’s Labour Market Conditions Index (LMCI), mainly after the auspicious results from the US Payrolls during January (257K act.).

As of writing the pair is down 0.11% at 1.1307 and a break below 1.1270 (low Feb.9) would open the door to 1.1265 (61.8% of 1.1098-1.1534) and then 1.1224 (low Jan.27). On the other hand, the immediate support aligns at 1.1362 (200h-MA) followed by 1.1400 (psychological level) and finally 1.1463 (21-d MA).
