Talking Points
- Strategy: Short, Stop: 1.2500 (Daily Close), Target: 1.2360
- Risk Returns To 1.2360 As Bearish Pattern Emerges
- Doji On H4 Suggests Traders Lacking Inspiration
EUR/USD has slid below the 1.2500 handle once again, this time with a bearish reversal pattern in tow. Confirmation from a successive down-period alongside the medium-term downtrend would skew the risks lower for the pair. This puts the 1.2360 floor in focus.
