|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1435 | 1.1404 | 1.1372 | 1.1309 | 1.1279 | 1.1247 |
With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1362 (+0.19% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.45% above its 52-week floor at 1.1311. Today's intraday range of 1.1328–1.1380 (0.0051 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 1.1342.
Price is closest to R1 at 1.1372 — a decisive break above R1 (1.1372) opens R2 (1.1404). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1372–1.1309) 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, the annual support remains the decisive level — bulls need a firm hold here to prevent a deeper pullback. The 52-week range of 1.1311–1.2082 places the pair at the 7th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

Today's intraday range of 10.833–10.889 (0.057 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 10.860.
Price is closest to R1 at 10.910 — a decisive break above R1 (10.910) opens R2 (10.942). The R1–S1 corridor (10.910–10.827) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.
For EUR/NOK, price is in the lower half of its annual range, keeping the path of least resistance lower. The 52-week range of 10.673–12.012 places the pair at the 16th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.
