Mid-Day Report: Euro Spiked But Shot Down as ECB Draghi Hinted at June Action

Euro initially jumped to 2.5 year high against dollar after ECB left interest rates unchanged 0.25% as widely expected. However, the common currency was quickly shot down as ECB president Draghi hinted at the possibility of actions in June during the post meeting press conference. He noted that "the Governing Council is comfortable with acting next time, but before we want to see the staff projections that will come out in the early June." EUR/USD is trading after 1.3850 at the time of writing after hitting as high as 1.3993 earlier. EUR/GBP also drops sharply and is now threatening 0.8157 key support level.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3900; (P) 1.3919 (R1) 1.3929; More....

EUR/USD jumped to as high as 1.3993 after ECB rate decision and broke 1.3966 resistance. However, the pair quickly lost momentum and retreated. Intraday bias is turned neutral first. As long as 1.3769 support holds, further rally is still expected. Above 1.3993 will extend the larger rally from 1.2755 to 100% projection of 1.3476 to 1.3966 from 1.3673 at 1.4163. However, break of 1.3769 will raise serious doubt on the bullish outlook and will turn focus back to 1.3673 support.

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD - Sell at 1.3950

Despite intra-day brief rise to 1.3993, the subsequent reversal on Draghi's comments on possible action in June signals top has been formed there and consolidation with downside bias is seen for correction of recent upmove to 1.3840-50, then towards support at 1.3812 (last Friday's low) but break there is needed to retain bearishness.

Trade Idea Update: USD/JPY - Sell at 102.15

Dollar's rebound after falling to 101.43 yesterday suggests consolidation above this level would be seen and recovery to 102.00 cannot be ruled out, however, still reckon resistance at 102.19 would limit upside and bring another decline later, a break of said support would extend the fall from 103.02 for retest of previous support at 101.33 but a breach of strong support at 101.20-21  is needed to retain bearishness and confirm early decline from 105.44 (2014 high) has resumed
