The Euro extended post-Fed recovery on Thursday and bounced to 1.1250 zone, after correction from fresh high at 1.1268 was contained by 4-hr Kijun-sen at 1.1167. Dovish tone from Fed kept the dollar pressured that boosted the single currency, offsetting so far negative signals on overbought daily studies and bearish outside day on Tuesday. Lack of economic indicators from the Eurozone today suggests that the pair will be depending on US data and technicals. Break above multi month high at 1.1268 is needed to signal fresh upside, with such scenario being favored as the dollar stands at the back foot. Hhowever, extension above 1.1299 (09 Nov post-US election high) is needed to confirm bullish resumption. Initial support lies at 1.1210 (session low, followed by 1.1167 (correction low / Fibo 23.6% of 1.0839/1.1268 upleg) and rising 10SMA at 1.1133. Reversal of slow stochastic from strongly overbought zone requires caution as fresh weakness below 1.1167/33 pivots would signal stronger pullback.
