“The emphatic rejection of the market has seen an erosion of 1.2479/77 – the lows charted in mid-December. We have a new low of 1.2444, the move looks over stretched and has not been confirmed by the daily RSI and we would allow for some near term consolidation. Below 1.2444 targets the 78.6% retracement at 1.2109.”

“Only a rise above the July, September and October highs at 1.3258/1.3363 would put the June high at 1.3473 on the cards.”
