EU Analysis:
MONTH- The candle is a small spread (372pips) bear closing 1/4 off the low on low vol<1month. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure.
WEEK- The candle is a large spread (390pips) bear closing just off the low on low vol>1week. The candle close and volume suggests more downside.
DAY- The candle is a small spread (48pips) bear closing 1/2 off the low on low vol<3days. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure.
Background: The last NFP data coupled with the recent dovish FOMC meeting makes for a less than appealing Dollar long bias. Then last week we had Mario Draghi's butcher's knife applied to the Euro. Structurally, it is still likely that prices will retest the previous monthly pivot breakout level of 1.1640 or higher as short stops to 1.1711 have largely been cleared out and it will take firm fundamental policy change such as an interest rate decision such as a clear FED policy on USD rate hike implementation to push EURUSD to the magical parity level. Given the state of the US data releases blowing hot and cold, it is difficult for the FED to justify such an action. The coming FOMC meeting 27-28 Oct will in current circumstances present a great opportunity for SM to induce shorts on the release before reversing.
The Oanda order book shows more net trapped short position volumes.

Prices did retest slightly higher to 1.1077 as expected yesterday. However, with the FOMC minutes release and the FED interest rate decision due later today, SM is likely to retest the yesterday's high or higher (also a retest of trendline break confluence) before reversing.
