Downtrend from 1.1268, now ranging · RSI 56 · price 1.12265

Lower high at 1.1244 after 1.1203 low; range 1.1215–1.1244.

London unwound the push to the 1.1268 day high, and NY extended the slide to a 1.1203 day low as low jobless claims and hawkish Fedspeak lifted USD. The rebound stalled at the 1.1244 NY high, the 61.8% retrace of the selloff. Early Asia saw a rejection at the 1.1231 Asia high, leaving price mid-range above the 1.1215 NY pm low with RSI(14) neutral near 56.

Support: 1.1215, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.12306, 1.12435, 1.12679

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1244 NY high breaks the lower-high sequence and opens the 1.1268 day high
  • Failure to hold the 1.1215 NY pm low exposes the 1.1203 day low and the 1.1200 handle
  • Repeated rejection at the 1.1231 Asia high keeps the 1.1215–1.1244 range intact
  • German IP 07:00 UTC and ECB Lane / Fed Williams 09:30 UTC precede US NFP at 13:30 UTC, the dominant catalyst for this read

23:32 UTC

Intraday downtrend, early-Asia bounce · RSI 57 · price 1.12295

Lower highs off 1.1268; 1.1203–1.1243 post-low range.

London sold off from the 1.1268 asian high to a 1.1203 day low in NY as the claims beat and hawkish Fedspeak lifted USD. The NY bounce met rejection at the 61.8% fib by the 1.1243 ny high and faded to a 1.1215 late ny low. Early Asia has popped back to the 1.1231 late high, just under the lower-highs line, with price back over the ema20 and RSI(14) near 57.

Support: 1.1222, 1.1215, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1231, 1.1243, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1243 ny high breaks the lower-highs line from the asian high and opens 1.1268
  • Slip back under the ema20 and the 1.1215 late ny low puts the 1.1203 day low and the 1.1200 handle back in play
  • Rejection at the 1.1231 late high keeps the bounce inside the NY range
  • ECB Lane 09:30 UTC and Eurozone Retail Sales 10:00 UTC precede US NFP at 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K), the dominant risk to this read

23:16 UTC

Downtrend, momentum flattening · RSI 48 · price 1.1219

Lower highs from 1.1268; compressing above 1.1203 session low.

Thursday slid from the 1.1268 Asia high to a 1.1203 session low as firmer US claims and hawkish Fed talk lifted USD. The NY bounce was rejected at 1.1244, the NY high and the 61.8% retrace of the drop, before price stalled into a lower high at 1.1226. Early Friday Asia is churning around 1.1219 above the late NY low at 1.1215, with ATR(14) near 4 pips.

Support: 1.1215, 1.1203, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.1203 session low and the 1.1200 round number extends the lower-low chain
  • M15 close above the 1.1226 lower high and the trendline near 1.1234 shifts the read toward a range
  • Reclaiming the 1.1244 ny high reopens the 1.1268 asia high
  • ECB Lane 09:30 UTC and US NFP 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K) could materially shift this read

23:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum fading into late NY · RSI 43 · price 1.1217

Lower highs from 1.1268, compressing 1.1215–1.1226.

The 1.1268 Asia high gave way from London open. The slide reached a 1.1203 day low in early NY after the jobless claims beat and hawkish Fed remarks lifted USD. The NY rebound stalled at 1.1244 for a lower high, and price is now compressing below the EMAs, capped by the 1.1226 swing high, with a thin rollover low wick at 1.1208.

Support: 1.1208, 1.1203, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1203 day low exposes the 1.1200 round number
  • Close above the 1.1226 swing high, then 1.1244 ny high, breaks the lower-high chain
  • German IP at 07:00 UTC and US NFP at 13:30 UTC can reset the session range
  • Lower-highs trendline from the asia high near 1.1235 currently caps rebounds

22:46 UTC

Intraday downtrend, lower high in place · RSI 37 · price 1.12159

Lower high at 1.1244 below 1.1268 Asia high; NY rebound mostly retraced.

EUR/USD made the 1.1268 Asia high, then London open broke lower and the selloff ran to a 1.1203 day low after the US jobless claims beat and hawkish Fed remarks. The NY rebound was rejected at 1.1244, a lower high on the descending trendline. Price has since retraced about 70% of the NY rebound into the rollover and sits below the 1.1225 pivot, with ATR compressing to around 4 pips.

Support: 1.1208, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1225, 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.1225 pivot would neutralise the post-NY fade; above the 1.1244 ny high breaks the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 1.1208 late low (thin rollover print) exposes the 1.1203 day low
  • Asia session opening now; German IP (07:00 UTC) and Lane/Williams (09:30 UTC) are the next scheduled catalysts
  • US NFP Fri 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K) could materially shift this read; a soft print puts the 1.1268 asia high back in focus

22:31 UTC

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since NY rebound · RSI 33 · price 1.12156

Lower-high sequence after NY bounce stalled at 61.8%; testing swing low in thin rollover trade.

The NY rebound from the 1.1203 day low was rejected at the 1.1244 NY high, near the 61.8% fib of the 1.1268–1.1203 drop. Price has since printed lower highs along the lower-high line and is now pressing the 1.1215 swing low in thin post-rollover trade, RSI(14) near 33, as USD holds gains from the 189K claims beat and hawkish Fed remarks.

Support: 1.12151, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.12258, 1.12435

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1215 swing low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.1203 day low
  • Recovery above the 1.1226 swing high breaks the lower-high line and stalls the downtrend read
  • Reclaim of the 1.1244 NY high would void the 61.8% rejection
  • German IP 07:00 UTC and Williams / Lane 09:30 UTC Fri can set the early range
  • US NFP 13:30 UTC Fri could materially shift this read

22:16 UTC

Downtrend from Asian high, NY rebound fading · RSI 38 · price 1.12181

NY range 1.1203–1.1244, lower highs since 1.1244 into the late low.

European hours unwound the Asian high at 1.1268 as USD firmed. The NY low at 1.1203 came after the US claims beat. The rebound was rejected at the NY high of 1.1244, and price has since faded through a lower high at 1.1226 to sit just above the late low of 1.1215, under both EMAs, in thin post-NY trade.

Support: 1.12151, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.12262, 1.12435, 1.12679

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1215 late low puts the 1.1203 NY low back in play; a break there is a range break
  • Reclaim of the 1.1226 lower high and the 1.1220 pivot neutralises the post-1.1244 fade
  • Price holding the 61.8% of the NY rebound fib near 1.1215 keeps the NY range intact
  • German IP Fri 07:00 UTC opens the European session; US NFP Fri 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read

22:01 UTC

Downtrend, grinding lower into session close · RSI 35 · price 1.12184

Lower highs since NY high 1.1244, pressing late low.

EUR/USD has unwound the Asian-session push to 1.1268 as USD recovered on firm jobless claims and hawkish Fed talk, printing a day low at 1.1203 in NY. The NY bounce met rejection at the NY high 1.1244, near the 61.8% of the London drop fib, and has since carved lower highs (1.1231, then the 1.1226 lower high) into the 1.1215 late low, with ATR compressed near 5 pips.

Support: 1.12151, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.12262, 1.12435

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.1215 late low exposes the 1.1203 day low
  • M15 close above the 1.1226 lower high breaks the lower-high trendline and neutralises the grind lower
  • Recovery through the 1.1244 NY high would void the post-London downtrend read
  • German IP at 07:00 UTC and US NFP at 13:30 UTC Friday could materially shift this read

21:46 UTC

Downtrend, lower highs off NY bounce · RSI 33 · price 1.1216

Lower-high sequence below 1.1244, holding just above late low.

London broke below the Asian range from the 1.1268 day high, and NY extended to a 1.1203 ny low after the strong US claims print before the bounce was rejected at the 1.1244 ny high. Since then a lower high at 1.1226 has capped price, which is drifting at the 1.1215 late low after the NY close and sits beyond the 61.8% fib of the NY bounce, with RSI(14) near 33.

Support: 1.1215, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1215 late low and 1.1203 ny low extends the lower-low sequence
  • Recovery above the 1.1226 lower high and then the 1.1244 ny high breaks the lower-high chain and the fib retracement read
  • US NFP Fri 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K) could materially shift this read; Lane/Williams 09:30 UTC and EZ Retail Sales 10:00 UTC come earlier

21:32 UTC

Downtrend, drifting lower in thin post-NY trade · RSI 46 · price 1.12171

Lower highs from the 1.1244 NY high; price back at 61.8% of the NY bounce.

Asia ran to the 1.1268 asia high before London reversed it. NY set the 1.1203 day low after the jobless claims beat, and the rebound met rejection at the 1.1244 ny high. Price is now back at the 61.8% retracement of the NY bounce near 1.1217, below both EMAs, with lower highs capping at the 1.1226 lower high and RSI(14) mid-40s.

Support: 1.12151, 1.12102, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.12262, 1.12435, 1.12679

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.1215 late low exposes the 1.1210 swing low and the 1.1203 day low
  • M15 close above the 1.1226 lower high breaks the lower-highs trendline; the 1.1244 ny high sits above
  • German IP (Fri 07:00 UTC) and US NFP (Fri 13:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

21:16 UTC

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since NY bounce · RSI 34 · price 1.12182

Lower highs from 1.1244 NY high, holding above 1.1203 day low.

London open reversed from the 1.1268 Asia high. Firm US claims took price to a 1.1203 day low in early NY. The NY bounce stalled at the 1.1244 NY high, and lower highs since have pulled price back to the 61.8% of that rally near 1.1218, with the 1.1215 late low just below as post-NY trade thins.

Support: 1.12151, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.12262, 1.12435, 1.12679

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1215 late low exposes the 1.1203 day low and the 1.1200 round number
  • Recovery above the 1.1226 swing high breaks the lower-high trendline, with the 1.1244 NY high next
  • German IP (07:00 UTC) and Fed's Williams (09:30 UTC) Friday, then US NFP at 13:30 UTC, could materially shift this read

21:02 UTC

Intraday downtrend, post-NY fade · RSI 38 · price 1.12171

Lower highs from 1.1244 NY high, price below 61.8% of NY rally.

Asia high at 1.1268 gave way to a London selloff as USD rebounded on the 189K jobless claims and hawkish Fed remarks, bottoming at the 1.1203 day low before NY bounced to 1.1244. That NY high was rejected and a lower high formed at 1.1226. Late in the session, price is grinding at 1.1217, past the 61.8% of the NY rally and just above the 1.1214 swing low.

Support: 1.1214, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 1.1214 swing low exposes the 1.1203 day low

  • Reclaim of the 1.1244 NY high would invalidate the post-NY fade read

20:46 UTC

Intraday downtrend, NY bounce fading · RSI 38 · price 1.12204

Lower highs off 1.1244 NY high, holding above 1.1218 swing low.

London sold off from the 1.1268 Asia high, and the drop bottomed at the 1.1203 claims low on the 13:30 UTC jobless-claims beat as USD rebounded. NY bounced to 1.1244, met rejection there and has faded on lower highs into late NY. Price is pinned just above the 1.1218 swing low, which lines up with the 61.8% fib of the NY bounce, and sits below both EMAs.

Support: 1.1218, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 1.1218 swing low breaks the late-NY base and exposes the 1.1203 claims low
  • M15 close above the 1.1226 lower high and the descending trendline ends the fade from the 1.1244 ny high

Intraday downtrend, flattening late NY · RSI 41 · price 1.12227

Lower high at 1.1244 inside a 1.1203–1.1244 NY range.

The Asia-session rally to the 1.1268 day high reversed at London open, and the slide reached a 1.1203 session low after the US claims beat and hawkish Fed remarks. The NY rebound stalled at the 1.1244 NY high, the 61.8% retracement of that drop, and late-NY price is drifting near 1.1222, just above the 1.1218 swing low and the 1.1214 higher low.

Support: 1.1218, 1.1214, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1244, 1.1268

20:16 UTC

Intraday downtrend, NY rebound faded · RSI 42 · price 1.12241

Lower high at 1.1244 after day low 1.1203; drifting toward swing low.

London sold EURUSD off the 1.1268 Asia high to a 1.1203 day low as the USD rebound gathered pace on firm US jobless claims. The NY rebound stalled at the 1.1244 NY high near the 61.8% fib of the sell-off, and late-NY price has slipped back toward the 1.1218 swing low. Price sits under both EMAs with RSI(14) near 42 and ranges compressing.

Support: 1.1218, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

Intraday downtrend, NY bounce faded · RSI 48 · price 1.12242

Lower highs from the Asia high, compressing 1.1218–1.1244 into late NY.

The Asia rally topped at 1.1268 (asia high), London sold it off, and NY printed a 1.1203 day low before bouncing into the 61.8% fib at 1.1244. That bounce was rejected, leaving a lower high. Price is now coiling between the 1.1218 swing low and that lower high, below both EMAs, with RSI(14) neutral near 48. The claims beat and hawkish Fed talk kept USD firm.

Support: 1.1218, 1.1203

Resistance: 1.12435, 1.12679

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1244 lower high breaks the lower-high trendline and puts the 1.1268 asia high back in view

Intraday downtrend, NY bounce fading · RSI 47 · price 1.12201

Lower highs from 1.1268; price back inside the 1.1203–1.1244 NY range.

London broke the Asian range low after the 1.1268 Asia peak, and the slide extended to a 1.1203 session low after the US claims beat as USD clawed back. The NY bounce was rejected at the 1.1244 NY high, and late-NY bars have printed lower highs back to the 1.1220 pivot, sitting between the 50% and 61.8% retracement of the bounce.

Support: 1.12141, 1.12028

Resistance: 1.1231, 1.12435

Lower high at 1.1243 after London-NY sell-off; pivoting at 1.1222.

London opened by selling off from the 1.1268 Asian high, and the slide extended to a 1.1203 NY low on the jobless-claims beat and hawkish Fedspeak. The NY rebound met rejection at the 61.8% fib of that drop near 1.1243, and late-NY price is back at the 1.1222 pivot, below both EMAs, with RSI(14) neutral near 48.

Lower high at 1.1244 below 1.1268; higher lows off the 1.1203 NY low.

The Asian rally topped at the 1.1268 asia high. Through London and early NY, the strong claims print and hawkish Fed remarks drove a slide to the 1.1203 NY low. The NY rebound was rejected at 1.1244, the 61.8% fib and NY high, and late-NY price is back testing the 1.1223 NY pullback low, above a higher low at 1.1214.

Higher lows off the 1.1203 low, pullback after rejection at 1.1244.

The Asia run to the 1.1268 day high reversed through London and NY on firm US claims and hawkish Fed remarks, printing a 1.1203 session low before a higher-low rebound to the 1.1244 NY high. Late NY saw a rejection there, and price is retesting the 1.1223 swing low (50% of the bounce) with RSI(14) flat near 50 and price sitting on EMA20.

Down day, late-NY rebound fading · RSI 53 · price 1.12258

Higher low at 1.1214 off 1.1203 NY low, lower high capped at 1.1244.

Sellers took over from the Asia high at 1.1268 at London open, and the slide extended into a 1.1203 NY low after firm US claims and productivity data revived the dollar. The NY rebound printed a higher low at 1.1214 but met rejection at the late-NY high of 1.1244. Price is now slipping toward the 50% fib of the NY rebound near 1.1223, with RSI(14) neutral around 53 after London close.

Higher lows from 1.1203, capped below 1.1244 NY high.

Asia ran to the 1.1268 day high before London and early NY sold off to the 1.1203 day low, as low claims and hawkish Fed talk revived the USD rebound. The NY afternoon has built a higher low at 1.1214, but the 1.1244 NY high met rejection at the 61.8% retrace. Price is holding the rising line near 1.1230 after London close.

Resistance: 1.1244, 1.1268

  • Break of the 1.1244 NY high opens the path back toward the 1.1268 day high
  • Late NY into Asian range: thin conditions; Friday's German IP (07:00 GMT) and US NFP (13:30 UTC) could reset the read

Higher lows off 1.1203 day low, capped at 61.8% fib.

London open sold EUR/USD from the 1.1268 Asian high to a 1.1203 day low in early NY, as low claims and hawkish Fed remarks lifted USD. NY has since built higher lows through the 1.1214 NY pivot low and a 1.1230 swing low, but met rejection at 1.1244, the 61.8% fib of the day's drop. Late NY, RSI(14) is 59.

Resistance: 1.1244, 1.1268

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1244 61.8% fib opens the path back to the 1.1268 Asian high
  • Break below the 1.1230 swing low ends the NY higher-low chain and exposes the 1.1214 NY pivot low, then the 1.1203 day low
  • German IP at 07:00 GMT and Williams at 09:30 UTC precede US NFP at 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K), which could materially shift this read

NY higher lows off 1.1203, price testing the 61.8% retrace.

The Asia rally topped at the 1.1268 Asia high. London then sold off, and the slide reached a 1.1203 session low after the USD firmed on 189K claims. NY has since printed higher lows at 1.1214 and the 1.1230 swing low, lifting price into the 1.1241 NY high just under the 61.8% retrace (1.1243) and the 1.1249 swing high, with RSI(14) near 65.

  • Rejection at the 1.1241 NY high / 61.8% zone would mark the NY move as a retracement within the intraday downtrend
  • Loss of the 1.1230 swing low, then the 1.1214 higher low and rising support, refocuses the 1.1203 session low

Higher lows since 1.1203 NY low, now testing London breakdown zone.

London open sold off from the 1.1268 Asian high, and the slide extended to a 1.1203 NY low around the US claims data as the USD firmed. The rebound since has printed higher lows and cleared the 1.1237 broken high after London close. Price is now past the 50% retrace and pressing the 1.1249 prior shelf.

London open broke down from the 1.1268 Asian high, and the USD rebound on hawkish Fed talk and the 189K claims beat extended the slide to the 1.1203 NY low. The late-NY bounce printed a higher low at 1.1214 but met rejection twice at the 1.1238 NY high, at the 50% retracement, with price sitting on the EMA50.

Asia rallied to a 1.1268 Asian high before London unwound it. The USD rebound on the 189K claims beat extended the drop to a 1.1203 session low. NY has since printed a higher low at 1.1214 and is retesting the 1.1237 NY high near the 50% fib of the London drop.

London opened with a sell-off from the 1.1268 Asian high. The slide extended into NY on the USD rebound after strong claims and hawkish Fed remarks, bottoming at the 1.1203 session low at 14:30 UTC. Late NY has printed a higher low at 1.1214, and price is sitting on the 38.2% retracement near 1.1228, with the NY swing high at 1.1237 rejected once.

Lower highs from 1.1268; NY higher lows off 1.1203, capped at 1.1237.

The Asian high at 1.1268 gave way at London open. London then broke the Asian range low near 1.1234, and NY extended to a 1.1203 session low after the jobless claims beat and hawkish Fed remarks lifted USD. The NY rebound has printed higher lows but met rejection at the 1.1237 NY high, just above the 50% fib of the 1.1268–1.1203 leg.

Lower highs since London open; sweep of prior-day low reclaimed.

London opened with a sharp break lower from the Asia-session day high at 1.1268. The selling ran into NY hours after strong US claims, reaching a 1.1203 session low that briefly swept the prior-day low at 1.1213 before reclaiming it. The rebound is stalling at the 38.2% fib near 1.1228, after a 1.1237 ny wick rejection just under the 50% level, with price above EMA20 but still below EMA50.

The NY open swept the prior low at 1.1213 to a 1.1203 session low, then reversed back through the falling trendline. Price now sits near 1.1225, at the 50% fib of the 09:00–14:30 UTC drop, with the 1.1229 bounce high stalling just under the 61.8% and a 1.1210 higher low below as Lagarde speaks.

Early NY swept below yesterday's 1.1213 low to a 1.1203 session low, and the bounce to the 1.1224 spike high was rejected.

The pair has printed lower highs since the 1.1268 Asian high. The London high of 1.1249 and the 1.1226 lower high capped bounces as USD recovered, and the firm 13:30 UTC claims and productivity data extended the slide. NY pushed through yesterday's 1.1213 prior low to a 1.1203 session low. That bar's long lower wick shows demand at the low, but price is still holding below the old low.

Price is holding just above the 1.1216 session low, with yesterday's 1.1213 prior low beneath, and RSI(14) at 27 is soft but not extreme.

Support: 1.12162, 1.12128

Resistance: 1.12255, 1.1235, 1.12489

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 1.1226 lower high and the descending trendline breaks the lower-high chain, with the 1.1235 fib 38.2 next
  • Failure to hold the 1.1216 session low exposes the 1.1213 prior low and the 1.1205 range floor
  • A recovery through the 1.1249 swing high negates the London downtrend read

London reversed the Asia-session rally to the 1.1268 asia high. Price has since stepped down in a lower-high chain through the Asian range low near 1.1224 to a 1.1216 london low as the USD rebound on firm US data extends. Price now sits just above Wednesday's NY prior low at 1.1213, with RSI(14) at 27, stretched but not extreme.

Asian rally fully reversed; London range broken lower, pressing prior NY low.

London unwound the Asian rally. The 1.1268 Asian high gave way at the open, and the 1.1237–1.1249 London range broke at 09:30 UTC as the dollar pared its post-election losses. A lower-high chain since then has carried price to a 1.1216 session low, just above the prior NY low at 1.1213, with RSI(14) near 29 into Lagarde.

Resistance: 1.1224, 1.1235, 1.1249

Rejection at the Asian high of 1.1268 at London open started a steady lower-high sequence (london high 1.1249, then the 1.1235 lower high) as the USD rebound erased the oil-driven gain. Price now sits on the 1.1222 session low at the base of the Asian range, RSI(14) near 29 and below both EMAs.

  • Reclaiming the 1.1249 London high puts the 1.1268 Asian high back in play

Intraday downtrend through London · RSI 31 · price 1.12262

Lower highs and lower lows since London open; Asian rally fully retraced.

London opened with a rejection from the 1.1268 Asian high, and EUR slid after the German factory orders and French output misses. Price has since unwound the whole Asian rally on a descending trendline of lower highs (1.1266, 1.1249 lower high, 1.1235 swing high). It now sits on the 1.1224 Asian low ahead of Lagarde, with RSI(14) near 31 and not yet stretched.

Intraday downtrend, London leg lower · RSI 31 · price 1.12281

Lower highs and lower lows since London open, price just above the Asian low.

London has erased the Asian advance to the 1.1268 asian high. The slide began at the 07:00 UTC open as German factory orders and French output missed, trimming the dollar-driven gains. The descending trendline produced a lower high at 1.1249 (swing high) and another at 1.1235, which was rejected. Price now sits just above the 1.1224 asian low with RSI(14) near 31.

  • M15 close above the 1.1235 lower high and the descending trendline breaks the London sequence; the 1.1249 swing high comes next
  • Lagarde at 12:00 UTC could materially shift this read; dovish hedging would add pressure while hike validation targets the 1.1268 asian high
  • US jobless claims at 13:30 UTC and Hammack at 13:50 add NY-session USD risk

10:46 UTC

Intraday downtrend, London lower highs · RSI 31 · price 1.12331

Asian advance fully reversed; LH/LL chain since London open.

Asia peaked at the 1.1268 asian high, a rejection just shy of Wednesday's 1.1273 prior high. London then reversed the whole Asian advance in lower highs and lower lows to a 1.1229 session low, as a modest USD bounce and soft euro-area data (French output and German orders misses) trimmed EUR gains. RSI(14) near 31 is weak but not oversold, and the 1.1249 lower high lines up with the 50% fib of the drop.

Asian rally fully retraced; lower highs and lower lows into a 1.1229 session low.

The Asian rally was rejected at the 1.1268 Asia high, and the London drop started on soft euro data at 07:00 UTC (German factory orders, French output). Lower highs at 1.1249 have since pushed price back to the base of the Asian range at a 1.1229 session low. RSI(14) is near 28 and ATR(14) about 7 pips, with yesterday's 1.1213 prior low the next reference below.

Lower highs from Asian high, Asian range broken lower.

The Asia session rally capped at the 1.1268 Asian high, and soft German, French and Italian data hit EUR at the London open. Price chopped under a 1.1249 London top, then broke the 1.1234 Asian low to a 1.1229 session low. RSI(14) near 29 is oversold, and price sits just above yesterday's 1.1213 NY lows.

Support: 1.1229, 1.1213

Resistance: 1.1234, 1.1249, 1.1268

Lower highs capping a tight 1.1236–1.1249 consolidation.

London open faded the Asian rally after a rejection just under the 1.1268 Asian high. The 07:00 UTC drop on soft German factory orders retraced roughly 80% of the Asian rally fib, and price is now consolidating between the 1.1236 London low and a 1.1249 range top under London lower highs, sitting just above the 1.1234 Asian low with RSI(14) near 34.

The Asia-session rally stalled at the 1.1268 asian high, just short of yesterday's 1.1273 prior high. London open then reversed it on misses in German factory orders and French IP, sending price to a 1.1237 london low.

Misses in German factory orders and French industrial output knocked EUR/USD off the 1.1260 Asia shelf, and the first hour of London tagged a session low at 1.12365. Price is now compressing in a tight 1.1237–1.1249 band, with the bounce capped at the fib 38.2 of the Asia high-to-low move and RSI(14) near 32.

After a rejection at the 1.1268 asian high, just under the 1.1273 prior high, misses in German factory orders and French output at London open knocked EUR/USD about 25 pips out of its overnight consolidation.

The 1.1256-1.1266 shelf gave way ahead of London open after the German factory orders miss, with a 15-pip bar into the 1.1240s.

Broad USD weakness after the midterm sweep drove a 44-pip Asia leg from 1.1224 to the 1.1268 Asian high, stopping short of yesterday's 1.1273 prior high. Price has compressed in a 1.1258–1.1266 band into London open, holding the 23.6% fib of the Asian rally fib and EMA20, with RSI(14) neutral near 54 and ATR(14) about 4 pips.

Asian HH/HL chain, tight consolidation under the Asian high.

Asia session lifted about 40 pips off the 1.1228 rollover area on continued post-midterm USD weakness, setting a 1.1268 Asian high before compressing into a 1.1258–1.1268 band ahead of London open. Price sits just under yesterday's 1.1273 prior high, the level that capped NY before a 60-pip slide. RSI(14) is in the high 60s and ATR(14) is about 4 pips, so the range is narrowing.

Price is now coiling just under that high, and the dip held the fib 23.6 at 1.1258 along the rising trendline.

Asian HH/HL chain from 1.1224; tight 1.1260–1.1268 pause under yesterday's 1.1273 NY high.

With the USD still heavy after the midterm sweep, EUR/USD carried a higher-low chain through Asia from 1.1224 to an asian high at 1.1268. That leaves it just under yesterday's 1.1273 prior high, where NY rejected it after the US data and sent it to 1.1213.

Price is back at the 61.8% fib (1.1250) of the 1.1273 day high to 1.1213 day low drop, with USD still heavy after the midterm result. RSI(14) near 72 is short-term hot, and the london high at 1.1265 sits just overhead.

Support: 1.1250, 1.1224, 1.1213

Resistance: 1.1265, 1.1273

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the 61.8% fib at 1.1250 would turn the Asia push into a failed reclaim
  • A break of the london high at 1.1265 exposes the 1.1273 day high and the 1.1275 neckline
  • Loss of the asian low at 1.1224 reopens the 1.1213 day low and breaks the HH/HL chain
  • Schnabel at 08:05 UTC, PPI at 10:00 UTC and Lagarde at 12:00 UTC could materially shift this read

HH/HL chain off the 1.1213 NY double bottom, neckline cleared.

Early Asia session has stepped higher off the 1.1224 asia low. It has cleared the 1.1239 neckline of the NY double bottom at 1.1213 and is pressing the 61.8% fib of Wednesday's 1.1273–1.1213 selloff. RSI(14) near 76 runs hot on thin Asian ranges, and post-midterm USD softness remains the backdrop, with rising support from the ny low still intact.

Resistance: 1.1250, 1.1265, 1.1273

What it said to watch

  • A close above the 61.8% fib at 1.1250 opens the london high at 1.1265 and the prior high at 1.1273
  • A slip back under the 1.1239 neckline returns price to the Asian range, with the asia low at 1.1224 next
  • A break of rising support and the 1.1213 ny low would negate the double bottom read
  • Schnabel (08:05 UTC) and Lagarde (12:00 UTC) could materially shift this read
