EURUSD
The Euro trades above fresh low at 1.2662, posted yesterday, entering consolidative phase, which was signaled by yesterday’s Doji candle and close above 1.2660, Nov 2012 low. Falling hourly 55SMA limits the upside for now, as the pair failed to clearly break initial resistance at 1.2700/10 zone. Near-term studies are weak and keep the downside vulnerable, however, oversold daily conditions, suggest more significant corrective action, before fresh weakness. Bullish action through strong barriers at 1.2700/10 and 1.2753/60, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.2900/1.2662 / 25/26 Sep lower platform, is required to confirm correction. Otherwise, violation of 1.2662 low, would open psychological 1.26 support and immediate target, for test.
