But even in that case, downside is expected to be contained by 80.58/81.86 support zone and bring rally resumption eventually. Above 83.38 minor resistance will flip bias back to the upside. Further break of 84.17 will extend the rally from 76.02 to 85.51 key resistance level.

Although the single currency rose briefly to 111.13 this morning, as price has retreated after faltering below resistance at 111.25 (last week’s high), retaining our consolidative view and mild downside bias remains for another retreat to 110.00, then 109.00-05. Having said that, only break of support at 108.77 would signal a possible downside break of recent 108.49-111.43 range
