High downside risk prevails as breakout odds remain limited
In the short term, EUR/BRL is projected to move within a range of R$5.5387 to R$5.5943 over the next two to three trading days. The likelihood of an upward breakout is considered very low, while a downward move carries a very high probability. A baseline scenario sees the pair holding range-bound.
