Friday's PMI-inspired bounce looks uninspirational and is unlikely to stir any
upside breakout just yet. The impulsive losing streak for the single currency is
still weighing heavy. Should new lows be printed today, that will mark the
longest sequence of daily lower lows for the pair since the EUR's adoption. This
is raising the bar further for bulls to arrest this decline, with the 1.0%
10-dma envelope remaining key support going forward. We continue to stress that
although the downtrend remains intact, the trend is steep and the risk of a
sharp reversal increases each day. Initial resistance is at 1.0889.
