Awaiting good news...

Good afternoon, folks!

Does jogging 5km everyday protects someone in their 40s from stroke totally? The answer is NO, bottom line, watch your diet..... you are what you eat. Someone close recently had a mild stroke and today had a stent implanted in the artery at the neck to prevent future recurrence. Tomorrow, I will be playing my 18 holes and have recently switched from the luxury of moving around in the golf buggy to using a push cart instead (not even battery powered). Starting to enjoy walking as I can study the green better as I approach from the fairway.

When all eyes are on the EU Finmin meeting today, Moody's stole the limelight by downgrading France by 1 notch in the early morning sending E$ back below 1.2800 to 1.2765 low. However, bid appeared and supported the currency pair. Sub-optimal market liquidity is already evident and can only get worse each passing day.

Order book is quite empty now:
Stop loss: 1.2750, 1.2830/40 and 1.2880

Technically, intraday indicator is at pretty neutral level. Intraday momentum is getting a bit mixed too due to this morning's sell-off and it has fractured and weakened the nearer term picture with a risk of testing lower to 1.2730/40 if we continue to hover around current level for too long. However, longer term intraday momentum is still pointing firmly higher for now.
For today, expect trading range 1.2730/40 to 1.2830/40.
