European currencies saw a temporal respite early Europe, albeit held below critical short term resistances, with the EUR/USD reaching a daily high of 1.3145.

In the 4 hours chart indicators hold well below their midlines, with RSI turning back lower after correcting oversold headings and steady near 30, all of which maintains the risk to the downside.
