|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1663 | 1.1630 | 1.1589 | 1.1515 | 1.1482 | 1.1441 |
With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1543 (-0.04% vs. yesterday's close), at the 29th percentile of its 1.1324–1.2082 52-week range. Today's intraday range of 1.1527–1.1552 (0.0025 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1556.
Price is closest to S1 at 1.1515 — a decisive break below S1 (1.1515) exposes S2 (1.1482). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1589–1.1515) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.
For EUR/USD, price is in the lower half of its annual range, keeping the path of least resistance lower. The 52-week range of 1.1324–1.2082 places the pair at the 29th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

With the US session now active, NOK/SEK trades at 1.0458 (+0.16% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.31% below its 52-week high of 1.0491. Today's intraday range of 1.0382–1.0473 (0.0091 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 1.0426.
Price is closest to R1 at 1.0506 — a decisive break above R1 (1.0506) opens R2 (1.0571). The R1–S1 corridor (1.0506–1.0361) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.
For NOK/SEK, upside momentum is intact; the 52W high is the key target on a sustained break above R2. The 52-week range of 0.9064–1.0491 places the pair at the 98th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.
