EURUSD failed to hold onto Tuesday's gains and retreated from the session high of 1.2169. Despite the pullback, a bullish theme remains intact. The Feb 5 price pattern, a bullish engulfing reversal, is still in play highlighting current conditions. A concern for bulls though is yesterday's bearish candle pattern - a shooting star. A deeper pullback would expose 1.2020, Feb 8 low. The bull trigger is 1.2169 where a break would negate the candle pattern.
