EUR/USD remains well off the cycle highs printed Aug 6 and is currently in damage limitation mode, with prices holding well above the week's lows of 1.1711 at the midpoint Friday. Bulls need to build a base above 1.18 to stage any attempt on the cycle highs. The recent lows at 1.1696 remain the cue for a move lower and a break below opens late July's 1.1639. Upside momentum present at the end of July has now faded, making a period of consolidation the most likely outcome going forward.
