Key Quotes
“EUR/USD has eroded its 78.6% retracement at 1.1767. The market stays immediately offered below the accelerated downtrend at 1.1877. A close below 1.1767 will target 1.1717/12, the 1.1616 May 2016 high and then the 1.1553 November low with the 200 week ma at 1.1442 our ultimate goal. A negative bias will remain entrenched below the 1.1996 14th May high. There is a note of caution as we note the 13 count on the daily chart and would therefore prefer to sell the rallies”.
