EUR/USD: While longer-term and medium-term technicals now warn of a major shift in the structure, which favors additional USD gains, shorter-term technicals are stretched, with the daily RSI in the process of recovering from below 30. Remarkably, the daily RSI in the major had not been below 30 since October of 2008. While this development reaffirms the trend shift into the USDs favor, the shorter-term horizon now warns that we could see more of a bounce over the coming days to allow for some inter-day oversold technical readings to unwind. The risks from here are for a bounce back towards the 1.4600 area before considering a fresh downside extension and assault on the 200-Day SMA.
