CFTC COT report (positions as of 23 Apr 13):
Euro: -34,275 vs -29,764

NY order book:
Stop loss: 1.3130/20
Limit: 1.3030/10, 1.3055/50 and 1.3130/20
Primary trend: Bullish
Intermediate trend: Bullish (1.32012 breached)
Minor trend: Can't get overly bullish around 1.3260/70, expect consolidative price action
Technically, intraday indicators are all in o/b zone though not in extreme. Shorter intraday momentum is suggesting a near term top but longer intraday momentum is still pointing firmly higher. These contradicting signals may not indicate a turning point but it serve as a warning against getting aggressively bullish. For today, I see 1.3260/70 to cap for now with 1.3160/70 to hold on the downside.
