|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1423 | 1.1401 | 1.1365 | 1.1307 | 1.1286 | 1.1249 |
With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1287 (-0.37% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.19% above its 52-week floor at 1.1265. Today's intraday range of 1.1265–1.1337 (0.0072 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1343.
Price is closest to S1 at 1.1307 — a decisive break below S1 (1.1307) exposes S2 (1.1286). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1365–1.1307) 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 1.1265–1.2082 places the pair at the 3th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

Price is closest to S1 at 1.3219 — a decisive break below S1 (1.3219) exposes S2 (1.3177). The R1–S1 corridor (1.3307–1.3219) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.
For GBP/USD, price is in the lower half of its annual range, keeping the path of least resistance lower. The 52-week range of 1.3009–1.3868 places the pair at the 27th percentile annually.
