EURUSD traded lower still Wednesday. Importantly, the pair remains below the Jan 18, 1.2054 low and hit fresh 2021 lows. This confirms a resumption of the downleg that started off the Jan 6 high and stresses the importance of the psychological 1.2000 handle. A breach of 1.2000 would signal scope for 1.1976, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of 1.2190, Jan 22 high is required to reinstate a bullish theme. Initial firm resistance is at 1.2156.
