  • SUP 1: 1.1530/1469 Low Nov 7 / 5 and the bear trigger 
  • SUP 2: 1.1425 1.500 proj of the Oct 17 - 22 - 28 price swing

EURUSD is trading below last week’s high. Resistance to watch is 1.1669, the Oct 28 high. A break of this level would strengthen a short-term bull theme and highlight a stronger reversal. Note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position. This highlights a dominant downtrend and suggests that gains since Nov 5 are corrective. A reversal would refocus attention on key support at 1.1469, the Nov 5 low.
