Rate continues to hold at support. Spillover from GBP helps hold the rate above support at 1.2800/10 area. Buyers are willing on dips. Possible reversal now in play but the rate needs to firm above the 1.2850 area in my view. Bids are likely building under the 1.2800 area now as expected; stops cleared near-term.

Dips likely to be bought hard now that sellers couldn't make a stand over 1.3000 with confidence on the first try; a test of stops at 1.3030 likely. Aggressive traders can ADD to open longs again. Stops building above the market around the 1.2950/60 area cleared so if sellers are active they may place them there again.

Rate extends losses to make a test of lows; then rallies to test resistance. Support at 1.4720/30 area holds after stops cleared; rate is holding 1.4740 to close. More upside now due within 24 hours if dips continue to be bought above the 1.4720 area.

Close back near the 1.4850 area will confirm willing buyers on the dips. Aggressive traders can look to ADD to open longs anytime looking for a push through and a close back above 1.5000. Some spillover from EURO likely. Good bids reported but supply seen from semi-official names overnight.

It was a disappointing day today for equities traders as the follow-on buying seen overnight failed to inspire traders in New York today; the DJIA shed over 200 points near the end of the day putting pressure on USD bears. Crude oil lost over $1.50/BBL as well putting conflicting fundamentals in play for equities traders. The net result for traders in the majors was solid two-way whipsaw over the course of New York trade; EURO rallying to post a nine-day high at 1.3002 looking very much like a test of the resting stops rumored to be at the 1.3030 area untouched before dropping back as equities gave back recent gains.
