. EUR/USD - 1.2715... Despite euro's initial brief rise to 1.2840 in Europe on Tue, the single currency n then tumbled after Reuters reported the ECB was planning on corporate bond purchase as early as Dec. The pair weakened to as low as 1.2715 near NY close n then marginally lower to 1.2706 in Australia today.
. Although last week's rally to 1.2888 (Wed) signals the MT downtrend fm 2014 2-1/2 year peak at 1.3995 (May) has formed a temporary bottom at Oct's 2-year low at 1.2500, y'day's selloff suggests 1st leg of said corrective upmove has ended there n as long as hourly chart res at 1.2784 holds, consolidation with downside bias remains, a firm breach of 1.2706 sup (reaction low fm last Wed's 1.2888 high) wud add credence to the abv view n bring further weakness twd 'dynamic' sup at 1.2648 (this is 61.8% r of 1.2500-1.2888) but reckon pivotal sup at 1.2605 wud remain intact. On the upside, only a rise abv 1.2888 res wud bring a stronger correction to 1.2958, this a 'minimum' 38.2% r of MT intermediate fall fm 1.3700 (Jul high).
. Today, we're holding a short position in anticipation of further weakness n wud take profit on next decline as 1.2648 shud remain intact.
