The technical picture is asymmetrical on the bullish side, Eurozone PMIs are resilient, the dovish ECB is certainly discounted, the risk of a US government shutdown won’t help the dollar, and the EM sell off is prompting investors to put cash in safe currencies.
Key Quotes
“We recommend a 3W topside exotic trade to get leverage between 1.13 and 1.1550.”

“Dovish ECB probably in the price: The ECB stance is certainly the main bearish euro factor for the coming weeks.
