DLRx 97.25 (8:21 AM EDT) being dissed by players in aggregate and likely sentiment tilted to the downside.

EURUSD
Trend: Strong up but in limbo
Drilling down:
Potential (unconfirmed) for a change of direction pattern but one that would need the 1.1727 blue line to turn solid, 1.1680 broken but even then not be confirmed until/unless 1.1580 is broken
So drilling down to the one hour chart shows consolidation, 1.1667=72 as key support (followed by 1.1650)
On the upside, a break of 1.1745-50 would be needed to trigger any buy stops and put 1.18 on the radar.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire
The White House on Thursday denied that President Trump is close to announcing a replacement for Fed Chair Jerome Powell – just a day after Trump said he had “three or four people” in mind for the job.
“No decisions are imminent, although the President has the right to change his mind. The President has many good options to nominate as the next Federal Reserve chairman,” a White House official told The Post on Thursday.
