EURUSD Analysis.
EURUSD’s fall from 1.3546 extended to as low as 1.3281. Another fall towards 1.3212 is still possible later today. However, the fall is more likely correction of uptrend from 1.3212, as long as 1.3212 key support holds, we’d expect uptrend to resume, and a clear break above the upper line of the channel on 4-hour chart could signal completion of the downward move.
