EUR/USD
Continues to channel lower as fears of Greece’s bailout failure and recent downgrade of European countries credit rate, put additional pressure on the pair. Break below key near-term support at 1.3025 and figure support at 1.3000, sets scope for fresh leg lower, with immediate target at 1.2970, Fib 50% of 1.2622/1.3320 and 1.2930, 25 Jan low. Negative near-term studies keep the focus at the downside, immediate resistance at 1.3025, previous support, ahead of 20 day SMA at 1.3050 and previous low at 1.3078, expected to limit corrective rallies.

Res: 1.3030, 1.3050, 1.3078, 1.3100
Sup: 1.2970, 1.2930, 1.2900, 1.2875

Extends gains off 0.9100 support zone, after yesterday’s pullback was held above 20 day SMA, to clear strong resistance and near-term range ceiling at 0.9250/60, currently attempting through Fib 38.2% of 0.9293/0.9087 descend.
