EURO USD Forex Trading Tips and Analysis for Day Traders

Rate continues to hold at support, possible sovereign interest on the bid. Late break with spillover from GBP clears stops under the 1.2700 area and 1.2620/30 area. Possible reversal now in play but the rate needs to firm above the 1.2850 area in my view.
