Key quotes

“EUR/USD has eroded the 1.2042 uptrend and focus has dropped to the September high at 1.2014. This is now exposed – it guards key short term support, which lies at 1.1945, this is the 23.6% retracement of the move up since March 2020.”

“A close below 1.1945 is needed to imply a deeper sell off to 1.1750 and possibly the 1.1695/02 support, this is the 38.2% retracement and the September and November lows. It would also represent a return to point of break out from the previous 12-year downtrend.”

“Rallies will now find initial resistance at 1.2085/1.2135 ahead of 1.2243, last weeks high.”
