| 1.1330 | 1.1299 | 1.1268 | 1.1207 | 1.1176 | 1.1145 |
With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1225 (-0.11% vs. yesterday's close), just 1.01% above its 52-week floor at 1.1112. Today's intraday range of 1.1180–1.1235 (0.0055 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1238.
Price is closest to S1 at 1.1207 — a decisive break below S1 (1.1207) exposes S2 (1.1176). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1268–1.1207) 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 1.1112–1.2082 places the pair at the 12th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18.727 | 18.620 | 18.553 | 18.380 | 18.274 | 18.207 |
With the US session now active, USD/MXN trades at 18.473 (-0.07% vs. yesterday's close), at the 85th percentile of its 16.855–18.768 52-week range. Today's intraday range of 18.437–18.548 (0.112 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 18.447.
Price is closest to R1 at 18.553 — a decisive break above R1 (18.553) opens R2 (18.620). The R1–S1 corridor (18.553–18.380) 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 85th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.
