EUR/USD: The rise may end soon

EUR/USD is surging to three-week highs amid coronavirus-related USD weakness. Friday's four-hour chart is pointing to oversold conditions while economic divergence favors the dollar. Yohay Elam, an analyst at FXStreet, says these are the reasons for the stop in the euro climb.
