Comment: The bearish EURO has been as a result of the EU finance ministers failing to agree on more economic support for their COVID affected economies. It is even more disappointing seeing that this decision has been going on for a while now but still no plan has been drawn. Hence, most investors are wary of investing in the euro currently. Generally speaking, the Euro has been on a free fall for the last few weeks; seeing that the general trend since the COVID 19 has been bearish, it is expected to continue the downside move. Hence, a sell should be expected on this pair.
