EUR/USD
The Thursday squeeze of the EUR/USD resulted in high volatility and a break out to the downside. By the middle of Friday's trading, the currency exchange rate had dropped below the support levels that are located from 1.1153 to 1.1141.
The rate was set to continue the drop, as it had no technical support as low as the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.1102.
On the other hand, take into account that the recent drop occurred in a sharp angle. It is a signal that the rate is oversold and needs to consolidate. It could consolidate by trading sideways or retracing back up to the 200-hour SMA at 1.1141.
