As shown on the daily chart, the pair was rejected from the key resistance 1.3161 after fake breakout above this level, another rejection was seen from the key resistance 1.3070, however, stability below 1.3070 levels could mean a return to the 1.2745 levels, below this level is likely to have large bearish move, but a break below the key support 1.2625 is needed to open the way towards the psychological level 1.2000..

This is my scenario:

UBS - "Germany's IFO data is also released this week. This is a survey that is likely to carry weight with policymakers. As Chart shows the data here has also begun to weaken. As a result the case for another ECB rate cut seems to be building. If the central bank does decide to ease in the next couple of months, it will likely cut its benchmark refinance lending rate from 0.75% to 0.50%. That would help push the euro down into a 1.28-1.30 range against the dollar. But for now we do not…

Royal Bank of Scotland - "Trying to articulate dollar bullishness through EUR/USD is very hard yards. Relative changes in Fed and the ECB balance sheets is one of the explanatory variables in our short-term fair value model for EUR/USD. As long as the Fed is printing and the ECB is not, the EUR is supported. A Spanish sovereign risk measure is another explanatory variable of 'fair' in our EUR/USD calculation. Periphery yields are falling and spread over core compressing as southern Europe…

This is my 2 scenarios:

GBP/USD 

Sell 1.5295 / TP 1.5243 / SL 1.5325

Royal Bank of Scotland - "Stay dollar bullish. Initially on less US cyclical pessimism ("trundle rate" US growth is way better than UK and Euro) but largely on a conviction that the world is ultimately still in a highly risky place.

Trying to articulate dollar bullishness through EUR/USD still isn't the lead trade.

(...) But for now, ahead of leading with EUR/USD, we prefer to keep selling GBP/USD.

Deutsche Bank - "Though sentiment may appear to be positive towards the US and the dollar, actual flows, positioning and views imply the opposite. Our dbSelect positioning indicator shows investors are short dollars. These short positions are larger than those seen in the euro, where investors are close to their smallest shorts in a year. Consensus analyst forecasts show a close-to-unchanged dollar profile against the majors this year and beyond.

Perhaps more importantly, when we look at…
