EUR Falls
In out late morning analysis, we were hoping to make an entry at 1.4320. But we only got 1.4301and stops set to 1.4340. We have since moved that stop to 1.4200 locking in some profits. We anticipate support at 1.4150 Fib. 100% level.
Have a great day of trading and please trade with caution.
