EURUSD

The Euro ended week in which the pair posted fresh 3-month low at 1.2754 and 3–week high at 1.3205. Price closed at 1.3069, 200DMA and near 50% retracement of entire 1.3414/1.2754 downleg, with downside being protected at 1.3000, psychological support and higher platform. Two day consolidation moves in a narrow range, following pullback from 1.3205 high, with hourly studies holding neutral tone. From the other side, positive 4-hour structure and formation on bullish pennant, suggests that bulls are in play and look for renewed attempt higher. Sustained break above 1.3100 is required to confirm and open key short-term barrier at 1.3205. Conversely, violation of 1.3000 base and 1.2980, 50% retracement of 1.2754/1.3205 recovery rally, would soften the tone and increase downside risk.
