EURUSD 1 HOUR CHART – OOPS!
EURUSD seemed setup for a gap to the upside but the surprise French vote saw a gap to the downside.
To fill the gap, 1.0838 needs to trade.
On the downside, 1.08 is the obvious pivotal level with support at 1.0794=99 chart support.
This is a tough one to call until the political dust settles so toi keep it simple:
Keeps a bid while 1.0799 holds, below it says that politics rules.
On the upside a move above 1.0850-52 would say politics doesn’t matter.
