The Norwegian krone is losing some ground after the economic activity (mainland) during the fourth quarter expanded 0.3%, below forecasts at +0.4% and down from the previous quarter at +0.8%.

At the moment, EUR/NOK is up 0.04% at 7.3836 with the next resistance at 7.4680 (high Feb.1) ahead of 7.4770 (2013 high Jan.18) and then 7.4846 (high Oct.26).
On the downside, a break below 7.3640 (low Feb.13) would expose 7.3595 (low Jan.15) and finally 7.3570 (low Jan.14).
