EUR/USD peaked at 1.2746 during the Asian session and then fell more than 190 pips before finding support at the 1.2555 zone. At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at the 1.2575 zone, below the broken 100-hour SMA (1.2590), where it records a 0.9% loss on the day.


"The EUR/USD is mirroring it action that started the previous week (6/11). It was the Spanish bailout that gave the EUR/USD a jolt to 1.2666, followed immediately by a fade in risk", said Fan Yang, analyst at FXTimes.

According to the analyst, below 1.2600 the EUR/USD eyes June's correction trendline. "A break below this TL, near 1.2520, should be a signal of a bearish continuation, with the first key level at 1.24-1.2410 area, before the 1.2285-1.23 June lows", said the analyst. If the market can hold above 1.2530/40, "we still have upside risk toward the next resistance pivot at 1.2820".
