Meanwhile comparing the Euro to the greenback, we expected choppy movement for EUR/USD with a potential bounce off $1.1672, but price did not reach that level. Now, a stronger than expected US jobs and earnings data has apparently strengthened the US Dollar which despite POTUS claim of making the currency move like a YoYo on demand, is pushing EUR/USD below $1.1887 support, before it is likely to find a base at $1.1833. The pair may move higher if price and find its way above $1.1887; two hourly closes above this level without upper “lack of material excess” wicks would signal a long position towards $1.1949.
