As said yesterday’s rise signals recent decline has made a temp. low at Fri’s 2-1/2 month trough of 1.1848, consolidation with mild upside bias remains for stronger retrace. to 1.1980/85 but loss of upward momentum should cap price below res at 1.2009 n yield decline later today.

EUR/USD - 1.1924… Despite extending erratic rise from last Fri’s 9-week trough at 1.1848 to 1.1969 in New York morning yesterday on continued usd’s weakness after soft U.S. data, euro erased intra-day rise from 1.1911 (Europe) following hawkish comments by Fed officials (see earlier update) and fell to 1.1920 in late New York.
As euro’s retreat from 1.1969 suggests correction from 1.1848 has possibly ended, consolidation with downside bias remains, below 1.1911 would add credence to this view n yield weakness to 1.1882 but reckon 1.1848 would hold today.

As yesterday’s break of prev. July’s 1.1782 low suggests correction from 2021 bottom at 1.1705 (March) has ended, price is en route to re-test this level especially if J. Powells sounds less dovish in his 2-day semi-annual testimony before the Senate.

As said yesterday’s rebound after re-testing Tuesday’s 3-month trough of 1.1773 suggests recent decline has made a temp. low, consolidation with upside bias remains for a stronger retracement towards 1.1881, however, reckon last week’s top at 1.1894 (Tuesday) would cap upside n yield retreat later today or tomorrow.

As dlr’s fall from this week’s high at 110.69 (Wednesday) to 109.72 suggests correction from 109.54 has ended, break there would extend early fall from July’s 15-month peak at 111.65 to next chat obj. at 109.20 (Jun low) but reckon 108.90/00 may contain weakness.

Intra-day broad-based yen’s strength vs usd, euro, gbp n aud etc suggests re-test of last week’s 109.72 low would be seen after conosolidation, break would head towards July’s bottom at 109.54 later today.
