EUR/USD

Maintains positive near-term tone from 1.4046, yesterday’s fresh 7-week low, after recovery attempt stalled at 1.4243 and subsequent pullback found support at 1.4144. Break above 4-hour 20 day MA at 1.4180 and major trendline connecting historical high of 2008 and 2009 peak, that has been lost, is required to open way for fresh attempt at initial resistance at 1.4243, ahead of 1.4338, 13 May high, clearance of which would signal near-term base and expose 1.4420/40, 11/09 May highs and over Fib 38.2% retracement of 1.4938/1.4046 downleg. Failure to clear 1.4243, however, would risk lower top and resumption of 2-week downtrend, with loss of 1.4046 to focus 1.4020 and 1.3980.

Res: 1.4200, 1.4243, 1.4260, 1.4305
