1.1214–1.1240 day range; Asia higher lows into swing high.

Wednesday held a 1.1214–1.1240 range. London's dip below the Asian low found demand at the 1.1214 day low, NY printed the 1.1240 day high, and a sharp late-NY drop to 1.1215 was fully reclaimed. Asia drift since the rollover low at 1.1229 has retraced ~78% of that drop into the 1.1235 swing high, with RSI(14) neutral near 57 and ATR around 3 pips as a soft USD offsets French-yield pressure on EUR.

Support: 1.12292, 1.12137

Resistance: 1.12355, 1.12404, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1235 swing high and 1.1240 day high opens the 1.1250 range cap
  • Failure to hold the 1.1229 rollover low returns price to mid-range and the 1.1214 day low
  • Thin Asia session; Thursday's 12:30 UTC jobless claims is the next scheduled catalyst

23:32 UTC

26-pip range, floor defended three times.

Wednesday held a 26-pip range between the 1.1214 range low and the 1.1240 day high. The floor held three times, on the London low, the NY low and the late-NY flush, as French OAT stress weighed on EUR and a soft USD limited the downside. Early Asia is pressing the 1.1235 swing high and holding above the 1.1227 Asia low set at the rollover gap, with ATR(14) compressed to about 3 pips.

Support: 1.12271, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.12355, 1.12404

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 day high breaks the range top
  • Failure to hold the 1.1227 Asia low reopens the 1.1214 range low
  • Repeated stalls at the 1.1235 swing high keep the range read intact
  • US jobless claims Thu 12:30 UTC and ECB's Panetta 12:15 UTC could shift this read

23:17 UTC

Sideways, momentum neutral · RSI 52 · price 1.1231

Two-sided range 1.1214–1.1240, early Asia compressing mid-range.

London and NY carved a 1.1214–1.1240 day range. The day low held three times, and spikes into the 1.1235 swing high and 1.1240 day high were sold each time, as French OAT stress kept EUR heavy despite a soft USD. Early Asia is pinned at 1.1227–1.1233 above the rollover low, RSI(14) neutral at 52 and ATR(14) near 3 pips.

Support: 1.1227, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1227 rollover low puts the 1.1214 day low back in play
  • Break of the 1.1214 day low ends the range read and exposes the 1.1200 zone
  • Close above the 1.1240 day high invalidates the range; the 1.1235 swing high has capped three bounces
  • ECB's Panetta 12:15 GMT and US Jobless Claims 12:30 UTC Thursday could shift this read

23:01 UTC

Sideways, momentum flat · RSI 46 · price 1.12295

Wide intraday range 1.1214–1.1240; early Asia compressing mid-range.

Choppy 27-pip day range: the 1.1214 day low held three times across London and NY, while a late-NY push to the 1.1240 day high was rejected within an hour. Early Asia is drifting near 1.1230 between the 1.1227 gap low left at the rollover and the 1.1235 late-ny high, around the 38.2–50% retrace of the late-NY leg. A soft USD and the capped EUR digest leave no driver for a break yet.

Support: 1.1227, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1227 gap low puts the 1.1214 day low back in play
  • Close above the 1.1235 late-ny high reopens a test of the 1.1240 day high
  • A break of the 1.1214 day low ends the range read
  • US jobless claims Thu 12:30 UTC and ECB's Panetta at 12:15 UTC could shift this read

22:46 UTC

Sideways, momentum flat · RSI 54 · price 1.12298

24h range 1.1214–1.1240, price mid-range in thin early Asia.

Wednesday ranged 1.1214–1.1240, with the day low probed three times across London and NY. Each probe was rejected, including the late-NY drop off the day high, which was retraced to the ny recovery highs near 1.1235. EUR stays heavy under the 1.1250 ceiling as French spread stress offsets a soft USD. Early Asia is flat near 1.1230 after a small rollover gap, with the gap low at 1.1227 just below.

Support: 1.1227, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1227 gap low exposes the 1.1214 day low; a fourth test there risks a range break
  • Break above the 1.1240 day high puts the 1.1250 ceiling back in play
  • Thu 12:15 UTC Panetta and 12:30 UTC US jobless claims are the next scheduled risks; Asian hours carry no data, so the range is likely to hold until then

22:32 UTC

Sideways, momentum flat · RSI 53 · price 1.12303

1.1214–1.1240 range, lower high at 1.1235.

Early Asia session finds EURUSD pinned near 1.1230, sitting between a flat EMA20 and EMA50 inside the 1.1214–1.1240 range that held through London and NY. The range floor was defended three times. NY's push to the 1.1240 session high failed and the NY drop reached 1.1215, while the rebound stalled at a 1.1235 lower high. ATR is compressing to about 3–4 pips after rollover as DXY stays boxed in its 101.60–101.80 band.

Support: 1.1227, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 session high breaks the range and brings the 1.1250 ceiling from the digest into view
  • Loss of the 1.1227 range mid exposes the 1.1214 range floor; a close below it ends the range read
  • Rejection at the 1.1235 lower high keeps the NY drop retracement capped near its 61.8% level
  • ECB's Panetta (12:15 UTC) and US jobless claims (12:30 UTC, f/c 200K) Thursday are the next scheduled risk

22:17 UTC

Sideways, range-bound · RSI 56 · price 1.12316

1.1214–1.1240 range, floor held three times.

London and NY traded a 1.1214–1.1240 range. The range floor near 1.1215 held three times, each a false break below the Asian low that was quickly reclaimed. Early Asia is flat near 1.1232, below the 1.1235 rebound high and about 65% back into the evening drop from the 1.1240 day high, with French spread stress keeping the topside heavy.

Support: 1.1229, 1.1215

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1215 range floor breaks the day's range and exposes the 1.1200 zone
  • Acceptance above the 1.1240 day high opens a path toward the 1.1250–1.1260 cap
  • Failure to hold the 1.1229 late low returns price to mid-range
  • ECB's Panetta (Thu 12:15 UTC) and US jobless claims (12:30 UTC) could reset the range

22:01 UTC

Sideways, mid-range drift · RSI 52 · price 1.12331

24-pip range 1.1214–1.1240, flat lows held three times.

London and NY churned inside 1.1214–1.1240. Buyers stepped in three times at the 1.1214 day low, while supply capped the 1.1240 day high as French spread stress weighed on EUR. Early Asia has filled the rollover gap back from the 1.1227 gap low, and price sits mid-range with ATR(14) near 5 pips.

Support: 1.12271, 1.12142

Resistance: 1.12404, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 1.1240 day high breaks the range toward the 1.1250 range cap, which has capped EUR/USD five times this month
  • Loss of the 1.1227 gap low reopens the 1.1214 day low; a break there exposes 1.1200
  • Thu ECB's Panetta 12:15 UTC and US Jobless Claims 12:30 UTC could break the range

21:31 UTC

Sideways, two-way intraday chop · RSI 46 · price 1.12297

1.1214–1.1240 session range, mid-range into rollover.

London and NY traded through both sides of the 1.1217–1.1231 Asian range. Buyers stepped in three times at the 1.1214–1.1215 session low, and sellers rejected the 1.1240 day high at 18:15 UTC. Price is drifting at 1.1230 after a thin rollover gap to the 1.1227 rollover low, just under EMA20 and above the 38.2% of the rebound fib. French spread stress keeps EUR capped and RSI(14) sits neutral near 46.

Support: 1.12271, 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.12355, 1.12404, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 1.1227 rollover low exposes the 1.1214 session low; a break there opens the 1.1200 psych level
  • A close above the 1.1236 rebound high puts the 1.1240 day high back in play; the 1.1250 range cap has rejected price five times this month
  • Thursday's US Jobless Claims (12:30 UTC) and ECB Panetta (12:15 UTC) could shift this read; an OAT-Bund spread above 160bp is the EUR tail risk

21:17 UTC

Sideways, two-way intraday range · RSI 48 · price 1.12299

Range 1.1214–1.1240, flat lows, marginally higher highs.

London and NY swung two-way inside 1.1214–1.1240. Buyers defended the day low three times, at 09:00, 15:45 and 19:00 UTC, while the 1.1240 session high was rejected with a 12-pip drop at 18:45 UTC. The new trading day opened just after 21:00 UTC with a 5-pip gap to the 1.1227 gap low, and price now sits mid-range near 1.1230, on the EMA50 and just under the EMA20, with RSI(14) neutral at 48. Tuesday's US housing misses keep USD soft, but French OAT spread stress caps the euro, so the pair stays boxed.

Support: 1.1227, 1.1215

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • Close back below the 1.1227 gap low puts the 1.1215 day low back in play
  • M15 close below the 1.1215 day low breaks the three-touch floor and the range read
  • Reclaim of the 1.1235 swing high reopens the 1.1240 session high, with the 1.1250 range cap that has held all month above
  • Panetta (Thu 12:15 UTC) and US Jobless Claims (Thu 12:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

21:01 UTC

Sideways, two-way intraday swings · RSI 49 · price 1.12321

1.1214–1.1240 day range, lows defended three times.

London and NY swung inside a 1.1214–1.1240 range. The 1.1214 day low held three times (London, mid-NY, late NY), and the late-NY push met rejection at the 1.1240 day high. Price has retraced roughly two-thirds of the final drop and sits mid-range near 1.1232 in thin post-NY trade, with French spread stress capping EUR and a soft dollar cushioning the downside.

Support: 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1240, 1.1252

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 day high breaks the range and brings the 1.1252 range cap into view
  • Failure to hold the 1.1214 day low on a fourth test exposes the 1.1200 psych level
  • Holding above the drop fib 61.8% (~1.1231) keeps the late-NY drop retracement intact
  • ECB's Panetta 12:15 UTC and US jobless claims 12:30 UTC Thu could materially shift this read

20:46 UTC

Sideways, wide intraday swings · RSI 50 · price 1.12328

1.1214–1.1240 range, late-NY drop mostly retraced.

EURUSD has swung inside a 1.1214–1.1240 range all day. Lows near the range floor held three times: in London at 09:15 UTC, in NY at 16:15 UTC and again at 19:00 UTC. The late-NY drop from the 1.1240 session high has retraced about 80% back to 1.1233. The soft USD after Tuesday's housing misses is offsetting French spread stress on the euro. RSI(14) is neutral near 50 and ATR(14) has compressed to about 5 pips after the NY close.

Support: 1.12288, 1.12137

Resistance: 1.12404, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 1.1229 rebound low puts the 1.1214 range floor back in play
  • M15 close below the 1.1214 range floor breaks the day's range structure
  • Close above the 1.1240 session high exposes the 1.1250 range cap, which has capped price five times this month
  • Thu Panetta (12:15 UTC) and US Jobless Claims (12:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

20:31 UTC

Sideways, range-bound intraday · RSI 54 · price 1.1234

Range 1.1214–1.1240, flat triple low with marginally higher highs.

London and NY held a 1.1214–1.1240 range. The 1.1214 triple low was defended a third time after the late-NY drop, and price has recovered most of that leg to 1.1234, above the asian high and just under the 1.1240 session high. A soft USD offsets French spread stress on EUR, keeping the pair boxed with RSI(14) mid-range near 54.

Support: 1.1229, 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1240, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 session high opens the 1.1250 range cap, rejected five times this month
  • Slip back below the 1.1229 asian high returns focus to the triple low; a break of 1.1214 exposes the 1.1200 round number
  • Panetta at 12:15 UTC and US Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC Thursday could shift this read
  • OAT-Bund spread clearing 160bp would add EUR pressure on the triple low

20:17 UTC

Sideways, two-way chop · RSI 55 · price 1.12334

1.1214–1.1240 intraday range; late-NY rebound off the triple low.

London and NY both traded through the Asian range (1.1217–1.1231) without follow-through. The day high at 1.1240 was rejected at 18:00 UTC, and the triple low at 1.1214–1.1215 held again at 19:00. The late-NY rebound has cleared the 61.8% of the 18:00–19:00 drop and sits just above the ema20 at 1.1230, with RSI(14) neutral at 55 as French spread stress keeps a lid on the euro.

Support: 1.1230, 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1240, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 day high exposes the 1.1250 range cap, an area capped repeatedly this month
  • Loss of the ema20 at 1.1230 returns price to mid-range; a break of the 1.1214 triple low opens the 1.1200 round number
  • OAT-Bund spread pushing through 160bp, or Thu US Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC, could materially shift this read

20:01 UTC

Range-bound, momentum neutral · RSI 52 · price 1.12329

1.1214–1.1240 day range, floor defended three times.

Late NY, a 19:00 UTC flush to 1.1215 was reversed back above the Asian high at 1.1231. That was the third time demand stepped in near the 1.1214 day low (range floor) today. Price now sits between that floor and the 1.1237 NY high / 1.1240 day high, RSI(14) neutral near 52, with French spread stress the backdrop to repeated upside caps.

Support: 1.1231, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1237, 1.1240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 day high breaks the range top; rejection at the 1.1237 NY high keeps the range intact
  • Slip back below the 1.1231 Asian high and the 0.618 of the late NY swing (~1.1231) puts the 1.1214 day low back in play
  • Close below the 1.1214 range floor ends the triple-defended base read
  • Thu Panetta 12:15 UTC and US Jobless Claims 12:30 UTC are the next scheduled risk; OAT-Bund spread headlines could hit EUR in Asia session

19:46 UTC

Sideways, two-way intraday swings · RSI 57 · price 1.12298

Range 1.1214–1.1240, three holds near the range floor.

London undercut the Asian range low to a 1.1214 day low, and NY pushed to a 1.1240 day high before a sharp rejection back to 1.1215 after London close. Price has since recovered to the 1.1230 area, mid-range and hugging EMA20, while the French spread stress in the digest keeps the euro heavy below the 1.1235 swing high.

Support: 1.1220, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1235, 1.1240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 day high breaks the range top
  • Failure to hold the 1.1214 day low exposes the 1.1200 round number cited in the digest
  • Loss of the 1.1220 round number would put a fourth test of the range floor in play
  • OAT-Bund spread clearing 160bp could break the range regardless of session
  • Thu ECB Panetta 12:15 UTC and US Jobless Claims 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

19:31 UTC

Sideways, intraday range · RSI 39 · price 1.12209

1.1214–1.1240 range; late-NY false break of the high.

The late-NY push to a 1.1240 session high failed quickly. A 12-pip bar at 18:45 UTC gave back most of the NY rally, and price is now near 1.1221, below both EMAs. The 1.1214 day low has held three tests since London, while price sits back under the 1.1231 Asian high as French spread stress keeps EUR heavy.

Support: 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1231, 1.1240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1214 day low breaks the range floor and exposes the 1.1200 round number
  • Reclaim of the 1.1231 Asian high neutralises the false-break read, with the 1.1240 session high above
  • Meta earnings after the US close could jolt USD via risk sentiment in thin post-NY trade
  • Thu 12:15 UTC Panetta and 12:30 UTC US jobless claims, plus OAT-Bund spread headlines, could shift this read

19:16 UTC

Intraday range, late-NY rejection from highs · RSI 39 · price 1.12226

Range 1.1214–1.1240; double low base, false break above NY high.

London and NY held a 1.1214–1.1240 range, with a double low at 1.1214 and a push to the 1.1240 session high. That push cleared the 1.1238 ny high by only 3 pips and failed as a false break. A 12-pip late-NY bar then erased the post-Lagarde rally to 1.1223, about a 68% retrace, leaving price just above the asian low with RSI(14) near 39 as French OAT stress keeps the euro heavy.

Support: 1.12174, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.12308, 1.12375, 1.12404

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1214 double low breaks the session range and exposes the 1.1200 zone
  • Recovery above the 1.1231 asian high would neutralise the late-NY rejection
  • Meta earnings after the US close could shift USD via risk sentiment
  • OAT-Bund spread headlines through the 160bp area could extend euro weakness in Asia

19:01 UTC

Intraday recovery, stalling below session high · RSI 58 · price 1.12338

Double bottom at 1.1214, failed hold above 1.1238 prior high.

London's dip to 1.1214 was matched by an NY low at the same level. The bounce off those twin lows, in line with a softer USD after the housing misses, ran to a 1.1240 session high. Price briefly closed above the 1.1238 prior high, then slipped back to 1.1234 in late NY, holding above the 38.2% fib at 1.1230 with RSI(14) at 58.

Support: 1.1230, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.12375, 1.12404, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 1.1240 session high negates the false break and exposes the 1.1250 cap zone, where EUR has stalled repeatedly this month
  • Loss of the 38.2% fib at 1.1230 opens a deeper retrace toward the twin lows at 1.1214
  • Thu: ECB's Panetta 12:15 UTC and US Jobless Claims 12:30 UTC could shift this read; French OAT spread headlines remain a tail risk

18:46 UTC

Rebounding inside intraday range, momentum flattening · RSI 60 · price 1.12357

London and NY lows matched near 1.1214; late-NY rally printed day high at 1.1240 and stalled.

London and NY both held a double bottom at the 1.1214 day low, and the late-NY rebound reached a day high at 1.1240 before stalling, with RSI(14) cooling to about 60. French spread stress keeps the 1.1250 range cap in focus, and the 1.1230 pivot low lines up with the 38.2% retrace of the NY leg.

Support: 1.1230, 1.12142

Resistance: 1.12404, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1230 pivot low returns price to the middle of the range
  • Close above the 1.1240 day high exposes the 1.1250 range cap, which capped price five times this month
  • Loss of the 1.1214 day low breaks the double bottom
  • Thu 12:30 UTC US jobless claims and ECB's Panetta at 12:15 UTC could shift this read
  • An OAT-Bund spread move above 160bp would weigh on EUR

18:31 UTC

Intraday rebound, momentum flattening · RSI 64 · price 1.1236

Higher lows off 1.1214 double bottom, stalling at session high.

Lows at 1.1214 in London and again in NY formed a double bottom (double btm). The 26-pip rally that followed began on the 16:30 UTC Lagarde bar, cleared the 1.1231 Asian high and printed a 1.1240 session high, where a wick shows early rejection late in the NY session. RSI(14) near 64 is not stretched, and the 1.1250 monthly cap from the digest sits just above, with the dollar soft but near its lows.

Support: 1.1231, 1.1227, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.1240, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1240 session high opens the 1.1250 monthly cap that has held five times this month
  • Slip back under the 1.1231 Asian high puts the 50% fib of the 1.1214–1.1240 rebound at 1.1227 in play
  • Loss of the 1.1214 double btm negates the reversal read
  • Thin post-NY and Asia session liquidity; Panetta 12:15 UTC and US jobless claims 12:30 UTC Thursday could shift this read

18:16 UTC

Late-session uptrend, RSI not stretched · RSI 62 · price 1.12396

Double bottom at 1.1214, break above 24h high.

The 09:00 and 15:45 UTC lows formed a double bottom near 1.1214. The rally that followed started around Lagarde's 16:30 UTC remarks, whose tone is unread in the feed. After London close it cleared the NY prior high at 1.1238 and printed a 24h high at 1.1240. RSI(14) sits near 62, and the 1.1252 monthly cap, which has held five times this month, is 12 pips above.

Support: 1.12375, 1.1230, 1.12142

Resistance: 1.1240, 1.1252

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the 1.1238 prior high would turn the 24h high break into a false break
  • Failure to hold the 1.1230 pullback low (38.2% of the rally fib) breaks the rally trendline
  • The 1.1252 monthly cap is the next area to watch for rejection or break
  • Panetta at 12:15 UTC and US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC Thursday could shift this read

Buyers defended the 1.1214 double low, first in London and again late in NY. The bounce cleared the 1.1230 pivot through the 16:30 UTC Lagarde window and is now pressing the 1.1238 session high set at the NY open. Soft USD tone is supporting the rebound, while French OAT stress keeps a lid on EUR.

Support: 1.1230, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.12378, 1.1252

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1238 session high completes the double bottom and brings the 1.1252 month cap into view
  • Slip back below the 1.1230 pivot returns price to the day's range
  • Break of the 1.1214 double low turns the structure to a lower-low
  • Late Lagarde headlines or OAT-Bund spread moves could shift this read during Asia

Range-bound, recovering from day lows · RSI 61 · price 1.12343

1.1214–1.1238 day range; double low at base, lower highs capping top.

London broke below the Asian low to a 1.1214 double low, retested at 15:45 UTC, then rallied ~21 pips into Lagarde's 16:30 UTC remarks to a 1.1235 lagarde high. Price holds 1.1234 late in NY hours, above the 1.1230 pullback low, with lower highs from the 1.1238 day high capping the top of the range.

Support: 1.1230, 1.12248, 1.12137

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1238 day high breaks the lower-highs line and the range top
  • Loss of the 1.1230 pullback low exposes the 1.1225 fib 50% of the Lagarde leg
  • Break of the 1.1214 double low reopens the downside

Range, recovering off session lows · RSI 58 · price 1.12344

Double bottom at 1.1214, price back at range top.

The 16:30 UTC Lagarde bar ran price off the 1.1214 double btm. Late NY is now testing the 1.1238 session high and the prior high at 1.1239, which together form the range top, after retracing about 85% of the NY selloff fib. RSI(14) at 58 and ATR near 5 pips show a compact, unstretched move as soft USD offsets French-spread pressure on EUR.

  • Slip back below the 1.1230 lagarde low returns price to the middle of the 1.1214–1.1238 range

Range-bound, late-NY pop toward top · RSI 57 · price 1.12327

1.1214–1.1238 day range, double low held, price back near range top.

Price has held a 1.1214–1.1238 range all day. A double low at 1.1214, the London low and the NY low, rejected both tests. The Lagarde leg from 16:30 UTC lifted price 21 pips to a 1.1235 spike high, just under the NY-open session high at 1.1238. Price is holding there after the London close, with the soft-USD backdrop from the digest still in place.

Support: 1.12266, 1.1214

Resistance: 1.12353, 1.12375

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.1238 session high breaks the day range top
  • Loss of the 1.1227 spike base, the 38.2% of the Lagarde leg, puts the 1.1214 double low back in play

Range, late-session rebound toward the top · RSI 60 · price 1.12325

Double bottom at 1.1214 inside a 1.1214–1.1238 day range, testing the London high.

London and NY both held the 1.1214 day low, forming a double bottom. The rebound around Lagarde's 16:30 UTC remarks reclaimed the asian high at 1.1231 and tagged the london high at 1.1235, about 78.6% back through the NY sell-off. Price is holding above the ema20 at 1.1226 late in the NY session, with RSI(14) at 60 and ATR(14) near 6 pips.

Support: 1.12308, 1.12261, 1.12137

Resistance: 1.12353, 1.12375, 1.12389

What it said to watch

  • A close above the ny high at 1.1238 and the prior high at 1.1239 completes the double bottom and breaks the day range
  • Rejection at the london high at 1.1235 keeps the 1.1214–1.1238 range intact
  • A slip back under the asian high at 1.1231 and the ema20 at 1.1226 would mark the rebound as a failed retest
  • Failure to hold the 1.1214 day low invalidates the double bottom
  • Lagarde's remarks are not yet in the news flow; follow-through headlines on December ECB pricing could materially shift this read

Sideways, two-way intraday swings · RSI 50 · price 1.12273

Session range 1.1214–1.1238, matching lows at the base.

London tagged 1.1214 at 09:00 UTC and rallied to a 1.1238 NY high, then the NY drop gave it all back to a matching 1.1214 double low at 15:45 UTC. That low drew a 13-pip bounce into Lagarde's 16:30 UTC remarks. Price sits mid-range near 1.1227, a touch above EMA20/50 and around the 50–61.8% retrace of the NY drop, just under the Asian high at 1.1231; RSI(14) is neutral at 50.

Support: 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1231, 1.1238, 1.1255

What it said to watch

  • Lagarde is speaking now (16:30 UTC). With ATR at ~5.6 pips, her remarks could break the 1.1214–1.1238 range either way
  • An M15 close above the 1.1238 NY high opens the 1.1250–1.1260 monthly cap, which has been capped five times this month
  • A close below the 1.1214 double low breaks the session range and exposes the 1.1200 round number
  • Failure to clear the 1.1231 Asian high keeps price rotating mid-range

Range-bound, drifting lower · RSI 40 · price 1.12213

1.1214–1.1238 day range; NY rally rejected, London low retested.

Early NY lifted price to a 1.1238 session high, which was rejected, and the move unwound to retest the 1.1214 London low at 15:45 UTC, where price held again. Pressure on EUR from the French OAT move above 5% kept the bounce shallow after London close, with price back below the 1.1231 Asian high and both EMAs.

Support: 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1231, 1.1238

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.1214 london low breaks the day range and exposes the 1.1200 round number
  • Recovery through the 1.1231 asian high reopens the 1.1238 session high

Intraday down-leg inside a 24h range · RSI 42 · price 1.12188

Lower highs and lower lows since the NY-open rejection, pressing the 1.1214 day low.

The NY-open push to the 1.1238 NY high was rejected just short of the prior-day top. The full London rally has since unwound back toward the 1.1214 day low, with each bounce capped at a lower high near 1.1226. EUR is soft on crosses as French OAT stress offsets the softer USD. RSI(14) is near 42 and ATR is about 5.5 pips, with Lagarde at 16:30 UTC the immediate catalyst.

Support: 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1238

What it said to watch

  • Lagarde speaks at 16:30 UTC (15 minutes after this bar) and could materially shift this read. A cautious tone has the 1.1200 round number in focus.
  • An M15 close below the 1.1214 day low confirms a lower-low and breaks the 24h range floor.
  • An M15 close above the 1.1226 lower high breaks the lower-highs trendline, putting the 1.1238 NY high back in play.

Lower highs off 1.1238 session high, price back on Asian low.

London's dip below the Asian low to a 1.1214 session low failed and reversed, but the NY-open push to a 1.1238 session high was rejected. Price is back on the 1.1217 Asian low, near the 78.6% of the London-NY leg, as French OAT stress weighs on EUR against a soft USD. RSI(14) is near 39 with price below both EMAs.

Support: 1.1217, 1.1214, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1231, 1.1238

  • Lagarde at 16:30 UTC could materially shift this read and test either end of the 1.1214–1.1238 range
  • M15 close below the 1.1214 session low opens the 1.1200 round number
  • Reclaim of the 1.1226 swing high and the NY lower highs trendline puts the 1.1231 Asian high back in focus
  • Hold of the 1.1217 Asian low at the 78.6% of the London-NY leg keeps the range read intact

Intraday range, NY pullback stalling · RSI 50 · price 1.12248

Higher lows off London low; lower highs since 1.1238 rejection.

London swept the Asian range low to the 1.1214 london low, then the NY open lifted price to the 1.1238 session high. It was rejected there, just under yesterday's NY high, with French OAT stress weighing on EUR against a soft USD. The pullback held a double ny low at 1.1219 near the 78.6% retracement of the london-ny leg and on the rising lows line. Price sits at 1.1225, just under EMA20/50, RSI(14) neutral near 50.

Intraday pullback, lower highs since NY open · RSI 39 · price 1.12202

NY-open high rejected; ~72% retrace of the London low-to-NY-high leg.

London broke below the Asian range to the 1.1214 london low, then reversed through the asian high to a 1.1237 ny open high. That high was rejected and price has slid on a lower-high sequence through the 61.8% fib to the 1.1219 ny low, below EMA20/50, mid-NY session, as French bond stress keeps the euro soft.

  • A break of the 1.1219 ny low exposes the london low
  • An M15 close back above the 61.8% fib at 1.1223 and the descending lower-high line eases the pullback read

Failed NY high, price back inside Asian range.

The first-hour-of-NY spike to the 1.1238 NY high cleared the London high but stalled short of yesterday's 1.1240 peak and reversed, unwinding the London rally as French spread stress kept EUR heavy. Price now sits below the 1.1231 Asian high at the 61.8% fib of the London low-to-NY high move, with RSI(14) at 44 and price under both EMAs; the 1.1220 NY low and 1.1214 London low sit below.

Intraday range, short-term lower highs · RSI 44 · price 1.12249

Lower highs off the 1.1238 ny high, inside the 1.1214–1.1238 day range.

Late in the London-NY overlap, the NY push to the 1.12375 ny high stalled just short of yesterday's 1.1239 high and reversed. That gave back most of the London rally off the 1.1214 day low, and price now holds the 1.1224 ny base between the 50% and 61.8% retrace, below the 1.1231 asian high. EUR stays heavy on French OAT spread stress, with a soft USD keeping the pair in range.

Support: 1.12238, 1.12137

London dipped under the Asian low and recovered; NY push to 1.1237 rejected, price back inside Asian range.

Early NY pushed to a 1.1237 ny high and was rejected. Price is back below the 1.1231 asian high, sitting near the 50% retracement of the London leg up from the 1.1214 session low. EUR stays heavy on French spread stress, and the 1.1250 prior high was not tested.

London swept below the 1.1217 Asian range low to the 1.1214 London low, then built a higher-low chain into a 1.1238 NY high, where the 13:45 bar was rejected back to 1.1228. Price is now testing the rising trendline and sits on EMA20 with RSI(14) neutral near 52. The pair stays inside the wider 1.1200–1.1260 range as French-spread pressure on EUR is offset by a soft USD.

London swept below the 1.1217–1.1231 Asian range to a 1.1214 London low, then reversed through the Asian high at 10:45 UTC. The NY open extended the higher-low chain to a 1.1238 session high, right at Tuesday's overnight prior high near 1.1239, with RSI(14) a neutral 59 and USD still soft.

London dipped through the 1.1217 Asian low to the 1.1214 London low, then reversed and broke the Asian high before stalling at the 1.1235 session high. The pullback held the 1.1225 pullback low near the 50% fib of the London swing. Price is now pinned around the old 1.1231 Asian high in the first hours of NY, with a soft USD cushioning EUR despite French spread pressure.

London swept below the 1.1217 Asian low to a 1.1214 London low and reversed. A slightly softer USD carried the pair through the 1.1231 Asian high to a 1.1235 session high. The NY open dip held 1.1225, the 50% retracement of the London leg, and price is back near 1.1229 on the higher-low trendline. RSI(14) is neutral near 55.

Higher lows off London low, Asian range high under retest.

Demand held a London low near 1.1214 twice, and the move lifted EUR/USD through the 1.1231 Asian range high to a 1.1235 session high. Price is now back at that breakout level into the London-NY transition, with higher lows at 1.1228. Yesterday's 1.1260 prior high, the month's repeated cap, sits overhead while French fiscal stress weighs on EUR.

London swept the Asian low near 1.1217 down to the 1.1214 London low, then reversed. The London leg broke the Asian high at 1.1231 and printed a higher low at 1.1228, with RSI(14) near 62. Into the NY open, price is pressing the 1.1235 session high just under the 1.1239 overnight high, with a soft USD offsetting EUR drag from French spread stress.

That move is now capped twice at the 1.1234 session high into late London, with RSI(14) near 58. Price is still well below yesterday's spike-and-fade from 1.1260, with French OAT stress weighing on EUR against a soft USD.

London swept below the Asian low of 1.1217 to a 1.12137 session low, then reversed through the Asian high at 1.12308. Two rejections at the 1.12335 session high sit below the 1.1239 overnight high, with the 1.12278 pullback low holding as a higher low.

The 1.1228 pullback low has held as a retest, while 1.1239 marks the overnight top below Tuesday's 1.1260 spike high.

London swept Asian low, rejected at session high.

London open swept the 1.1217 Asian low to a 1.1214 session low, then bounced through the Asian high to 1.1234 before a rejection back to 1.1228. Price is holding above the 38.2% of the London swing fib ahead of the NY open. EUR is weighed by French spread stress, while a soft USD keeps the pair off yesterday's 1.1260 prior high.

London false break below Asian low, reversal through Asian high.

London pushed below the Asian low three times, holding a 1.1214 session low each time, then reversed through the Asian high at 1.1231 late in the session. Price is now at the 38.2% fib of the drop from Tuesday's 1.1260 spike high, set in NY on USD weakness, with the 50% fib at 1.1238 overlapping last night's consolidation cap.

London range 1.1214–1.1227, lower highs since Tuesday NY.

EUR has bled from Tuesday's NY prior high at 1.1260, a USD-weakness spike, as French spread stress weighed on the euro. London has held a 1.1214–1.1227 range: three dips toward the session low were bought, and price is now pressing the session high near EMA20/50 with RSI(14) neutral at 54.

London range 1.1214–1.1227 below Asian high, failed breaks of the Asian low.

EUR/USD has bled lower from the 1.1260 prior high as French spread stress weighs on EUR. In mid-London, price twice dipped below the 1.1218 Asian low to a 1.1214 session low and both times closed back inside. The 10:15 UTC bar rejected that floor and is now pressing the 1.1227 session high, with the 1.1231 Asian high and the 38.2% retrace just above.

Asian low broken in London; lower-high/lower-low chain.

Mid-London, EURUSD has broken below the 1.1217 Asian range low and printed a 1.1214 session low. Each bounce has stalled lower along a descending trendline from 1.1230, with the latest lower high at 1.1225. The drift off yesterday's 1.1260 range cap fits the heavier EUR tone on French spread widening, and RSI(14) near 41 is not stretched.

Lower highs inside a tight London range after a false break of the Asian low.

London dipped through the asian low at 1.1217 to 1.1214 and reclaimed it. Highs keep stepping lower from 1.1231 toward 1.1225, still well off Tuesday's prior high near 1.1260 as French spread risk weighs on EUR. RSI(14) neutral near 46, price just under both EMAs.

Lower highs since 1.1260, asian low swept and reclaimed.

London twice broke below the asian low at 1.1217, printing a london low at 1.1214, but reclaimed it each time. This is a false break so far. Price sits near 1.1222 under a chain of lower highs from the 1.1231 asian high and the 1.1226 london high. Tuesday's spike to the 1.1260 prior high fully faded as French spread risk weighed on EUR, leaving a tight 1.1214–1.1226 London range.

Lower highs since the 1.1231 Asian high, with London twice wicking below the 1.1217 Asian low to a 1.1214 session low but closing back inside each time. Most of Tuesday's oil-driven spike to the 1.1260 high has been given back as French spread stress weighs on EUR; the London high at 1.1226 caps the bounce, RSI(14) 43, ATR(14) ~4.4 pips.

Asian range broken lower; London capped below 1.1226.

Tuesday's oil-driven spike to the 1.1260 tuesday high has unwound into a chain of lower highs along a falling lower-high line, with French spread stress weighing on EUR. The 1.1224–1.1231 Asian range gave way just before London open, and the session low at 1.1216 printed at 08:15 UTC. Every London rebound has stalled at the 1.1226 london high, and price sits below both EMAs with RSI near 40.

Since the 1.1260 tuesday high spike on US-Iran oil and yield headlines, EUR/USD has carved lower highs under a descending trendline near 1.1225, with French spread worries capping EUR. Early London swept the Asian low to a 1.1216 london low and recovered, leaving price inside the Asian range, capped by the 1.1226 london high and 1.1231 asian high.

Lower highs from the 1.1260 spike; London swept the Asian low and recovered.

EUR has drifted lower since yesterday's brief NY spike to 1.1260 faded, with French spread stress weighing and a chain of lower highs capping each bounce. The London open swept the Asian range low near 1.1217 to a London low of 1.1216 and recovered to 1.1220, while the London high at 1.1226 holds below the lower-highs trendline.

Resistance: 1.12264, 1.12309, 1.1250

Lower-high sequence pressing onto Asian low.

Yesterday's NY spike to 1.1260 on lower oil and yields was fully rejected, and EUR has since bled lower on French spread stress. The Asian high at 1.1231 and the early-London high at 1.1226 form a lower-high trendline, with price now pressing toward the Asian low at 1.1217 and ATR near 4 pips.

Lower highs since 1.1260; London trading inside the Asian range.

Yesterday's NY spike to the 1.1260 prior high was rejected as oil and yields eased, and the Asia session ground lower in a lower-highs sequence to an Asian low at 1.1217, with EUR soft on French spread stress. London open bounced off 1.1218 but stalled at a 1.1226 London high on the Asian lower-highs line, so price is compressed between the Asian low and the 1.1231 Asian high.

Early London is trading inside the 1.1217–1.1231 Asian range. The London open dip held the 1.1217 asian low and bounced, but stalled at the 1.1226 london high, extending a lower-highs line from late NY as French fiscal stress weighs on EUR. Price is pinned on EMA20, just below the 61.8% retrace of Tuesday's swing from the ZEW-miss low at 1.1204 to the 1.1260 spike.

London open held above the 1.1217 Asian low and bounced to the 61.8% retrace of the Asian drop near 1.1226, mid-way in the 1.1217–1.1231 Asian range. The wider 24h frame is still Tuesday's ZEW-miss low at 1.1204 and the US-Iran headline spike that was rejected above the 1.1250 range cap. RSI(14) is neutral near 47 and ATR(14) is about 3.7 pips.

Asian range broken lower, lower-high chain into the London open.

EUR/USD slipped through the asian low at 1.1224 into the London open and printed a session low at 1.1217, with French fiscal and protest worries weighing on EUR. Tuesday's NY-session spike high at 1.1260 is now fully faded beyond the 61.8% retrace. RSI(14) near 31 is soft but not oversold.

Support: 1.1217, 1.1204, 1.1200

Resistance: 1.1224, 1.1231, 1.1260

What it said to watch

  • A reclaim of the 1.1224 asian low would turn the range break into a false break
  • A close below the 1.1217 session low exposes the 1.1204 prior low and the 1.1200 round number
  • An M15 close above the 1.1231 asian high and the lower-high trendline invalidates the intraday downtrend read

Lower highs since 1.1260 spike, Asian low broken.

Lower highs have stacked since the housing-data spike to the 1.1260 prior high in Tuesday's NY session. The pre-London push broke below the Asian range to a 1.1217 session low, and price now sits under the fib 61.8 of the rally fib at 1.1226 with RSI(14) near 38. French fiscal and protest stress is keeping EUR heavy into London open.

Asian range floor broken pre-London, new session low.

Asia faded in a lower-high sequence from the 1.1231 Asian high. The decline has slipped through the Asian floor at 1.1223 to a 1.1217 session low ahead of London open, with RSI(14) near 35 and ATR(14) about 3 pips. The drift fits renewed French fiscal and protest stress weighing on EUR. Tuesday's post-ZEW low at 1.1204 and the 1.1200 round number sit below, and the 1.1260 prior high remains the cap from the NY spike.

  • M15 close above the asian high at 1.1231 ends the lower-high sequence

Lower-high sequence from 1.1260; Asian range low broken pre-London.

Tuesday's NY spike to 1.1260 (prior high) faded. Price has since printed lower highs through Asia as French fiscal worries resurfaced, slipping under the 1.1224 Asian low to a 1.1217 session low ahead of London open. Price sits below the 61.8% of the 1.1204–1.1260 rally, with RSI(14) near 36 and not yet oversold.

  • Reclaim of the 1.1224 Asian low and 1.1231 Asian high breaks the lower-highs line and negates the downtrend read
  • ECB's Nagel (07:15 UTC) and Cipollone (08:00 UTC) into London could shift the read; Lagarde 16:30 UTC is the high-impact risk

Asia has ground lower from the 1.1239 late-NY high in a lower-high sequence, printing a session low at 1.1219 as French fiscal worries resurfaced. Price sits between the 61.8% and 78.6% fib of Tuesday's 1.1204 prior low to 1.1260 prior high rally, with ranges compressed (ATR under 3 pips) ahead of London open.

Support: 1.1219, 1.1204

Resistance: 1.1231, 1.1260

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 1.1231 asian high breaks the Asia lower-highs trendline and voids the intraday downtrend read
  • Failure to hold the 1.1219 session low exposes Tuesday's 1.1204 prior low and the 1.1200 base
  • ECB Nagel at 07:15 UTC and Cipollone at 08:00 UTC, into London open, could expand ranges
  • Lagarde at 16:30 UTC is the session's main risk; a return toward the 1.1260 prior high needs a hawkish read

Mild drift lower inside a tight Asian range · RSI 38 · price 1.12236

Lower highs through Asia, testing the Asian low.

Yesterday's ZEW miss knocked the pair to the 1.1206 swing low before oil-driven USD softness spiked it to a 1.1260 session high in NY. That high was rejected and price has since slipped beyond the 61.8% retrace of the rally. Late Asia is grinding lower on a lower-high trendline inside a 1.1222–1.1231 band, with ATR near 3 pips ahead of London open.

  • Close above the 1.1231 Asian high and the lower-high trendline neutralises the drift; the 1.1239 NY range top comes next
  • Nagel (07:15 UTC) and Cipollone (08:00 UTC) land in the first hour of London; Lagarde at 16:30 UTC could reopen a test of the 1.1260 session high

Mild intraday downtrend, volatility compressed · RSI 39 · price 1.12242

Late in the Asia session, price is printing a fresh low at 1.1222 inside a tight 1.1222–1.1231 Asian range. Highs have stepped lower since the 1.1260 NY spike, and price is sitting on the 61.8% fib of the ZEW-low-to-NY-high leg. RSI(14) is near 39 and ATR is under 3 pips, so conditions are compressed ahead of the London open.

Mild intraday down-drift, low momentum · RSI 44 · price 1.12242

Lower highs inside a tight Asian range, pressing the range floor.

NY's oil-driven spike through 1.1250 to the 1.1260 day high was rejected and fully retraced. The Asia session has since drifted lower in a 1.1223–1.1231 band, with price now sitting on the asian low and below the 61.8% fib of the London-NY leg. The ZEW miss set the 1.1204 day low during London, and that remains the base under this range.

Support: 1.12232, 1.12041

Resistance: 1.12308, 1.12389, 1.12603

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 1.1223 asian low exposes the 1.1206–1.1204 London base and day low.
  • A break of the asia lower highs line and the 1.1231 asian high reopens the 1.1239 late ny high.
  • Nagel at 07:15 UTC and Cipollone at 08:00 UTC land into London open. Lagarde at 16:30 UTC is the larger swing factor for the 1.1250–1.1260 day high zone.

Drifting lower in Asia, low volatility · RSI 43 · price 1.12247

Lower highs inside a tight Asian range, pressing the range low.

Late Asia is drifting off the 1.1239 NY swing high in a 1.1223–1.1231 Asian range. Price is printing lower highs and sitting on the Asian low, near the 61.8% retrace of Tuesday's rally from the post-ZEW prior low at 1.1204 to 1.1260. That spike through the 1.1250 cap faded within the hour, and ATR is under 3 pips ahead of London open.

Resistance: 1.12308, 1.12389, 1.1250

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 1.1223 asian low opens the 1.1220 swing low, then the 1.1204 prior low
  • Break of the falling lower-highs line and the 1.1231 asian high would neutralise the Asian drift; 1.1239 ny swing hi sits above
  • 1.1250 cap held again on Tuesday's spike, and a fresh test would need a catalyst
  • ECB's Nagel 07:15 and Cipollone 08:00 UTC set tone into London; Lagarde 16:30 UTC is the main risk to this range

Drifting lower after yesterday's spike faded · RSI 43 · price 1.12256

Tight Asian range 1.1224–1.1231 with lower highs since late NY.

Late Asia session, with EURUSD at 1.1226 pinned inside a 7-pip Asian range of 1.1224–1.1231. It sits on the 61.8% fib of yesterday's 1.1204 ZEW low to 1.1260 prior high rally after the oil/Iran-driven spike was rejected. Highs have stepped lower from the 1.1239 NY high, and RSI(14) at 43 and ATR near 3 pips show compressed, low-energy trade into the London open.

  • Recovery above the 1.1231 asian high and the 1.1239 ny high (38.2% fib) negates the lower-high sequence
  • Nagel 07:15 and Cipollone 08:00 UTC ahead of Lagarde 16:30 UTC could break the Asian range at London open
  • Prior high at 1.1260 marks where yesterday's spike was rejected, the top of the session context

Sideways, compressing after Tuesday's two-way swing · RSI 56 · price 1.1230

Tight Asian range 1.1224–1.1231 under a descending line of lower highs.

Tuesday's ZEW miss set the 1.1204 zew low. The NY spike to the 1.1260 tue high met rejection on French fiscal headlines, and price has since compressed under a descending line of lower highs from the 1.1239 late ny high. In Asia, price is pressing the 1.1231 asian high, close to the 61.8% retrace of the post-ZEW rally, with ATR near 3 pips and price only marginally above EMA50.

Sideways after a failed NY spike, drifting lower · RSI 46 · price 1.12274

Tight Asian range under a line of lower highs, sitting near the 61.8% retrace.

Tuesday's swing ran from the 1.1204 prior low, set on the ZEW miss, to the 1.1260 prior high, a NY spike on Iran/oil headlines that faded straight back as French spread stress weighed. Price has since retraced to the 61.8% retrace zone. Late in the Asia session, price is compressed in a 7-pip 1.1224–1.1231 Asian range beneath a line of lower highs, with RSI(14) at 46 and ATR near 3 pips. No setup in play ahead of the London open.

Tight Asian range with lower highs, below late NY high.

Late Asia session: price is pinned in a 7-pip Asian range of 1.1224–1.1231, near the 61.8% retrace of the 1.1204 day low to 1.1260 spike high move. The NY spike on softer USD was rejected just above the 1.1250 cap. Asia has printed lower highs off the 1.1239 late NY high as the euro lags on French spread stress.

  • M15 close below 1.1224 asian low breaks the Asian range and exposes the 1.1204 day low
  • Close above 1.1231 asian high and the Asia lower-highs trendline brings 1.1239 late NY high back into view

Tight Asian range with lower highs after the NY spike fully faded.

The NY spike to the 1.1260 Tue high on soft US housing data and lower oil met rejection and fully retraced. Late Asia is now boxed between the 1.1224 Asian low and the 1.1231 Asian high, at the 61.8% retrace of Tuesday's ZEW-driven leg off the 1.1204 Tue low. Lower highs since the 1.1239 NY range top cap the tape, RSI(14) is flat near 50 and ATR is about 3 pips.

Lower highs since late NY inside a tight Asian range.

NY's spike to the 1.1260 day high was rejected and fully faded. Late in the Asia session, price is compressing in a 1.1224–1.1231 band, the asian low and asian high, right at the 61.8% fib of the 1.1206–1.1260 rally while French spread stress keeps EUR heavy. Lower highs from the 1.1239 late ny high keep the descending trendline in place, and the ~3-pip ATR reflects pre-London compression.

Tight Asian range sitting on the 61.8% retrace of Tuesday's rally.

Tuesday's NY spike to the 1.1260 spike high came as oil and yields dropped and the USD softened. It was fully rejected, and price has slipped back to the 61.8% retracement near 1.1226 as French spread stress weighs on EUR. The Asia session is boxed in a 1.1224–1.1231 range, between the asian low and asian high, below both EMAs, with ATR(14) at ~3 pips.

Tight Asian range under a lower-highs line after the 1.1260 spike faded.

Yesterday's NY spike to the 1.1260 spike high was rejected at the 1.1250 cap and fully faded. Price now sits between the 50% and 61.8% fib of the 1.1204–1.1260 move, with lower highs since 22:00 UTC as French spread stress offsets the softer USD.

Early Asia session is grinding lower in a tight 1.1224–1.1229 Asian range, under a line of lower highs that began with the 22:00 UTC drop from the 1.1237 range top. Price sits at the 61.8% retrace of Tuesday's ZEW low to NY high move (1.1204–1.1260). The NY spike through the 1.1250 cap was rejected, with French spread stress keeping EUR lagging a softer USD.

Asia session has slipped from the 1.1237 asian high in a lower-high sequence and is pressing the 1.1224 asian low. That level sits on the 61.8% retrace of yesterday's rally from the 1.1204 zew low to the 1.1260 day high on US-Iran headlines.

Tuesday's rally from the 1.1204 ZEW low to the 1.1260 day high came on USD softness as oil fell on US-Iran deal hopes. Price has since slipped from the 1.1233–1.1239 late NY range after rollover and is holding the 61.8% retrace near the 1.1224 Asian low.

Price was rejected just above the 1.1250 cap and spent late NY inside a range capped by the 1.1239 NY range top. Early Asia broke below 1.1230 and is now sitting at the 61.8% spike fib near 1.1227, just above the 1.1224 Asian low, with RSI(14) soft at 38 and ATR(14) about 2.6 pips.

Asia has since printed lower highs down to a 1.1224 low, which sits on the 61.8% fib of the 1.1204–1.1260 leg, with RSI(14) near 31. The late-NY base at 1.1237 now caps price, and yesterday's swings tracked oil-driven USD moves after the soft ZEW drop to the 1.1204 day low.

Lower highs since 1.1260 rejection, testing 1.1225 swing lows.

NY session spiked EURUSD to a 1.1260 day high on softer USD (oil lower, weak pending home sales). The move failed back below the 1.1250 cap within the hour, a rejection that unwound most of the rally off the 1.1204 day low set on the ZEW miss. Price has drifted lower since rollover and is now sitting on the 61.8% fib near 1.1225, which lines up with Tuesday's swing lows; early Asia session, RSI(14) near 26 and ATR around 3 pips.

Intraday pullback after a failed NY spike · RSI 31 · price 1.12274

Late-NY box 1.1225–1.1239 broken lower after rollover, testing the NY low.

The NY rally from the 1.1206 low spiked to 1.1260 as US-Iran deal hopes pulled oil and USD lower, but it was rejected straight back under the 1.1250 range cap. The pair then held a 1.1225–1.1239 box into rollover and slipped in early Asia to 1.1226, now sitting on the NY low near the 61.8% retracement of that rally. RSI(14) is around 31 and ATR is under 3 pips, so the tape is thin.

  • Recovery above the 1.1239 late NY high restores the box and puts the 1.1250 range cap back in view
  • ECB Lane 04:15 UTC, then Nagel 07:15 and Cipollone 08:00 UTC, could jolt the thin Asian range
  • US-Iran or oil headlines remain the main USD swing factor, and a fresh spike toward the 1.1260 spike high depends on them
