A mixed tone for the US Dollar against major European currencies. The Euro has staged a resilient rally within a range environment, to keep EURUSD pressures higher.
Despite a minor bounce for Cable (GBPUSD), however, the underlying bearish theme remains very much intact into mid-October.
EURUSD
A better (unexpected) recovery Friday, through the 1.1318/30 area to set a more positive tone for Monday.
This erratic consolidation, evident since latter September leaves an October range theme.
For Monday:
- We see an upside bias for 1.1387; break here aims for 1.1430, maybe key 1.1460.
- But below 1.1313 opens risk down to 1.1235.
Short/ Intermediate-term Range Parameters: We see the range defined by 1.1085 and 1.1460.
Range Breakout Challenge
- Upside: Above 1.1460 aims higher for 1.1714 and 1.1871.
- Downside: Below 1.1085 sees risk lower for 1.1015 and 1.0846/07.
