–

EURUSD Daily view
Resistances are at 1.07900 and 1.08450/500 – break of would open the road for Up Trend and the test of Major 1.11000 area. That would be a game changer.
Supports are waiting at 1.07550 and 1.07150 , break of targets directly ( ideally ) 1.06100 over period of 2-3 days.
Outcome for tomorrow – if we get a close bellow 1.07700 tonight, there is a higher possibility for immediate continuation of the down move. There is always a possibility to see uptick up to 1.08200 , and then down.
not on gv’s calendar, so fwiw:
