|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1436 | 1.1386 | 1.1314 | 1.1192 | 1.1142 | 1.1070 |
With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1252 (+0.09% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.33% above its 52-week floor at 1.1215. Today's intraday range of 1.1220–1.1269 (0.0049 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1264.
Price is closest to S1 at 1.1192 — a decisive break below S1 (1.1192) exposes S2 (1.1142). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1314–1.1192) 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 1.1215–1.2082 places the pair at the 4th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

| 49.174 | 49.115 | 49.053 | 48.932 | 48.873 | 48.810 |
With the US session now active, USD/TRY trades at 49.143 (+0.31% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.00% below its 52-week high of 49.143. Today's intraday range of 48.847–49.143 (0.296 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 48.994.
Price is closest to R1 at 49.053 — a decisive break above R1 (49.053) opens R2 (49.115). The R1–S1 corridor (49.053–48.932) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.
For USD/TRY, upside momentum is intact; the 52W high is the key target on a sustained break above R2. The 52-week range of 41.593–49.143 places the pair at the 100th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.
