Key quotes
"The ECB head has finally backed up the statement made 2 years ago on doing whatever it takes to save Europe, albeit market may be reading is again too little too late."
"The pair broke below a critical support level, 1.2740, and remains below it, which keeps the risk to the downside both short and longer term. In the 1 hour chart, price remains well below a bearish 20 SMA, momentum heads strongly south below 100 and RSI partially corrects extreme oversold readings."
"In the 4 hours chart technical readings maintain a strong bearish momentum, with renewed selling pressure below 1.2700 exposing 1.2660 next static support."
