After hitting multi-week highs of 1.2243 Thursday, the single currency reversed course Friday and closed near session lows. Friday's price pattern in candle terms is a bearish engulfing and highlights the possibility of a deeper short-term pullback. Attention turns to support at 1.2023, Feb 17 low. A break would again be bearish and expose 1.1952, Feb 5 low. Key resistance has been defined at 1.2243.
