I remember when a 1% or more daily range in a currency was the norm. Now it seems to be reported as a big event.
As you can see on this daily chart around 1.10 is the current target but a weak EUR showing on its crosses suggests further overall USD weakness might be needed to test it.
On the downside, no key nearby support, and as the chart shows 1.0897 needs to hold to keep a bid.
If you trade EURUSD and/or GBPUSD you should keep an eye on EURGBP.
Currently, blue AT lines are dominating, indicating either GBP strength or EURUSD is not as strong as charts show (same for other EUR crosses) and pointing the risk to the downside
Whatever the case, EURGBP .8500 is the current line in the sand.
I have a video on file how to use crosses to trade spot. Contact me if you would like a copy.
EURUSD
Supports : 1.09000, 1.08900 and 1.08400

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Rae Wee
The dollar’s 1% fall for the week thus far is set to be its steepest in nearly three months, and tonight’s U.S. jobs data is the next test for the greenback.
I like cad/chf higher for the same reasons i liked aud/chf higher-> chf the weakest link and no usd exposure. aud/chf having gotten started already cad/chf is maybe ready to go soon. Look for a base in eur/chf .9540 -.9560 to key timing.
There is not point in trading Yen today if you missed the sell. Gold is strong and so intently focused on Aud. With the weight of data today, although the spreads are wide, preference for the day is GbpChf and UsdChf. If intent on trading Eur (soviet pair) suggest using buy and/or sell stops and lock in fast.
