EUR/USD - 1.2060
Euro's decline from 1.2112 to 1.2043 yesterday suggests correction from Tuesday's 1.1992 low has possibly ended and initial range trading is in store before weakness towards 1.1992 but break there needed to extend early fall from last Thursday's 6-week peak at 1.2242 towards Feb's bottom at 1.1953 'later'.
On the upside, only above 1.2112 dampens present bearish scenario and may risk stronger gain to 1.2139/41.
