As the single currency has retreated after the release of US NFP data, retaining our view that further consolidation below this week’s high at 1.1910 would be seen and mild downside bias remains for test of 1.1810-15 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.1650-1.1910), however, break of 1.1780-85 (50% Fibonacci retracement and previous support) is needed to signal top is formed, bring retracement of recent rise to 1.1745-50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) but support at 1.1723 would remain intact.
In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.1880. Above said resistance at 1.1910 would signal recent upmove is still in progress and may extend headway to 1.1940-50 and possibly towards 1.1970-75 before correction takes place.
