EURUSD

The pair is close to touching the awaited level where it has currently descended to 1.2005; a minor bearish technical pattern has formed at 1.1910 and we expect it to effect trading today. Our expectations for a bearish intraday move will start with the breach of the mentioned support towards 1.1815. The breach of 1.2005 will weaken chances of achieving the suggested scenario.
