EURUSD showed above, but failed to crack the 20-day EMA, at 1.2165 Thursday. Recent gains do not alter the near-term outlook and a bearish corrective theme remains in place following the recent sell-off from 1.2349, Jan 6 high. The leg lower is allowing a recent overbought condition to unwind. A resumption of weakness would open 1.2011, Sep 1 high next and 1.1976, a Fibonacci retracement. Above the 20-day EMA, 1.2230 marks a firm resistance, Jan 11 high.
