Update Time: [B] 30 Apr 2018[/B] [I]05:30 GMT[/I]

EUR/USD - 1.2121
Although euro’s short-covering rebound from Friday’s fresh 3-month trough of 1.2056 to 1.2133 in New York session suggests recent downtrend has made a temporary low, as long as 1.2155 (previous sup, now res) holds, re-test of said sup is still envisaged, however, loss of downward momentum should keep price above 1.2000.

Only a daily close above 1.2155 confirms temporary low is in place, then risk is seen for stronger retracement towards 1.2200.

ON the eco. data front, Germany will kick off with retail sales followed by Italy’s CPI, and then the same from Germany.

EUR/USD - 1.1997
Yesterday’s selloff below last Fri’s 1.2056 low (now res) to a fresh 3-/12 month trough of 1.1982 in holiday-thinned New York session suggests recent downtrend would resume after consolidation before extending to 1.1940/50.
However, reckon 2018 bottom at 1.1916 (January low) should remain intact.

On the upside, only a daily close above 1.2056 signals temporary low is made and risk stronger retracement to 1.2100/10 later.

EUR/USD - 1.1968
Despite euro’s knee-jerk reaction after Fed’s hawkish hold in volatile New York trading on Wed, subsequent weakness to a fresh 3-1/2 month trough at 1.1938 suggests re-test of 2018 bottom at 1.1916 (January) would be seen after consolidation, loss of downward momentum should keep price above 1.1880/85.

On the upside, only a daily close above 1.2032 confirms temporary low is in place, then risk is seen for stronger retracement to 1.2056, then 1.2084.

EUR/USD - 1.1972
Despite euro’s resumption of recent downtrend to a fresh 3-1/2 month trough of 1.1912 in post-NFP New York trading, subsequent rebound and intra-day firmness in Asia suggests temporary low is possibly made and consolidation with upside bias is seen for stronger retracement to 1.2025.

Only below 1.1912/16 sup would risk marginal weakness however, loss of downward momentum should keep price above 1.1881/86 today.

EUR/USD - 1.1863
Although euro’s strong rebound from Wed’s fresh 4-month trough of 1.1823 to 1.1897 suggests recent downtrend has made a temporary low there and range trading is expected in holiday-thinned European morning (many European centres are closed for market holiday), as long as 1.1897 res holds, marginal weakness can’t be ruled out but loss of downward momentum is likely to limit weakness to 1.1800/05.

On the upside, a daily close above 1.1897 would bring stronger correction to 1.1939 and then 1.1978 before prospect of a retreat.

EUR/USD - 1.1962
Euro’s anticipated rally to 1.1968 in New York on Friday due to broad-based profit taking in the usd confirms recent downtrend has made a temporary low at Wednesday’s near 4-month trough of 1.1823 and consolidation with upside bias remains for gain towards 1.2000, however, loss of upward momentum should cap price below res at 1.2032.

Expect 1.1891 sup to contain intra-day weakness and bring rebound but above 1.1996 needed to head towards 1.2025.
