SF 2:59 balance is the most un-natural state.
movement , like that of swinging pendulum, means there is persuit (of something)
when that pursuit in one direction slows and tries to swing the other way, there will necessarily be a moment when the pendulum will pass through a point neutrality (or balance) . You and I better hope that that moment is infinitesimally short. Otherwise if things came to a stop, the pendulum would in perfect balance between two energies that would then be at 0 (zero) and therefore DEATH.

EURUSD Daily

Resistances : 1.06850 , 1.07300 & 1.07650

Supports : 1.06350 , 1.06000 & 1.05350

1.06350 might slow down this downtrend if it holds today.

We are looking at possible 1.04450 over period of time ( 2 weeks) .

If below 1.04450 road is fully open for test of 1.01500

EURUD testing 1.0650, 1.0600 is the target if it stays below 1.0665 but sub-1.0650 would make a stronger case.

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan

The dollar continues to feed on a mix of post-election tariff and tax cut speculation, China’s struggle with deflation and Germany’s simmering political crisis – with the euro plumbing its lowest levels in almost five months.

Even with bond markets effectively shut on Monday for the Veteran’s Day holiday, the dollar built on last week’s election-related surge – spurred by Friday’s reports, later denied by other sources, that protectionist Robert Lighthizer had already been asked to be President-elect Donald Trump’s new trade chief.
