EURUSD fell sharply on the back of broad post-Fed USD strength, confirming the bearish signals present earlier this week. The recent breach of the 50-day EMA and 1.2104, Jun 4 low helped accelerate the decline, and confirms a short-term correction. Wednesday saw firm support at 1.2052, May 13 low give way, opening losses toward the May 5 low of 1.1986. On the upside, initial firm resistance is at 1.2218, Jun 9 high. A break would ease the bearish threat and open 1.2266 instead.
