|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1348 | 1.1306 | 1.1250 | 1.1152 | 1.1109 | 1.1054 |
With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1191 (-0.04% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.27% above its 52-week floor at 1.1161. Today's intraday range of 1.1171–1.1212 (0.0041 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1207.
Price is closest to S1 at 1.1152 — a decisive break below S1 (1.1152) exposes S2 (1.1109). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1250–1.1152) 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 1.1161–1.2082 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18.396 | 18.328 | 18.200 | 18.003 | 17.935 | 17.807 |
With the US session now active, USD/MXN trades at 17.960 (-0.62% vs. yesterday's close), at the 58th percentile of its 16.855–18.768 52-week range. Today's intraday range of 17.908–18.098 (0.190 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 18.131.
Price is closest to S1 at 18.003 — a decisive break below S1 (18.003) exposes S2 (17.935). The R1–S1 corridor (18.200–18.003) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.
For USD/MXN, intraday momentum is constructive; the upper half of the annual range favours dip-buyers. The 52-week range of 16.855–18.768 places the pair at the 58th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.
