1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "In our latest update from last Friday (28 Mar), when EUR was at 1.0800, we indicated that 'if EUR breaks above 1.0825, it would mean that it is likely to trade in a range instead of declining.' EUR subsequently rose above 1.0825. The current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, and EUR is expected to trade in a 1.0730/1.0895 range for now."
