The Euro maintains negative sentiment, with yesterday’s probe below 1.27 support, leaving fresh low at 1.2696.

Break and weekly close below the latter, would signal extension towards 1.2042, low of July 2012.

Break here to open 1.2800/20, 50% and 61.8% of 1.2900/1.2696 downleg, with extension above the latter to delay immediate bears.

Conversely, rally above 1.6375, broken bull-trendline off 1.6050 low and regain of 1.64 resistance area, is expected to revive near-term bulls.
