The averages below remain far too high to inform a continued drop on the way over time. At last week’s daily view, EUR/USD was positioned at near perfect neutrality and the neutrality from last week referred to a higher EUR/USD became overbought and then lower resulting in being oversold but overall movements will trade steady without dramatic spikes.
The Draghi jump Thursday at 1.2445 was actually 128 pips from last week’s close at 1.2317 and under performed as 1.2459 was the target upon a break of 1.2436. Overall EUR/USD for the week performed as expected.

The main break point below is located at 1.2196, up 26 pips from last week’s 1.2160 and the extremes to 1.2196 above is located at 1.2733 to again reveal the elusive 1.2800’s will remain a non event and won’t break anytime soon.

The larger 513 pip EUR/USD range is positioned from 1.2828 to 1.1802 to inform how vital is the 5 year average at 1.1965 but further to reveal 513 pips is down 5 pips from last week and 7 pips from 2 weeks ago.
