- EUR/USD fell about 82 pips from daily high to low exceeding its average daily range of 74 pips.
- EUR/USD is consolidating the bearish move seen earlier in the day as it now trading just above the 1.1600 figure.
- EUR/USD bears objective is to push prices back below the 1.1600 figure while bulls are attempting to create a bullish reversal. EUR/USD is trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages suggesting bulls will need quite a lot of conviction to push through the dynamic resistances. However, failure to recapture 1.1600 would be seen as a sign of strength for bulls.
