EURUSD’s rally faltered at the daily highs of 1.0888 Thursday, as the sell-on-rallies theme resumed and the pair failed to break the 50-dma to challenge any reversal trigger. Weakness off highs reaffirms the overarching bearish theme, with a negative close yesterday forming a potential hammer, which could mark a near-term top. Last week’s bearish extension remains an influence on prices, however the short-term corrective recovery could extend on any strength through the reversal trigger at 1.0932. Consolidation at current or lower levels will re-target fresh trend lows and support at 1.0656, the Nov 10 low.
