EUR/USD technical analysis: Spotting Mean Reversion in the 2,000 pip Range
The EUR/USD is actively contracting into a tight 2,000-pip consolidation range between 1.15 and 1.17. Recent dollar demand from hawkish Fed repricing is being offset by dovish comments from NY Fed President Williams, which put the December rate cut back on the table (70% priced in). We analyze the EUR/USD in this rangebound, non-trending environment.

Euro Area Business Activity Remains Solid as EUR/USD Hovers Near Key Levels
Euro Area business activity remains solid in November, driven by services, but faces mixed signals with slowing new orders and rising costs. Q3 negotiated wages disappointed at 1.87% YoY. Technically, EUR/USD eyes a lower low, but this is contingent on the US Dollar Index not forming a double top. All eyes are on ECB President Lagarde's speech today regarding strengthening the Euro's world stage role.

USD/JPY: Potential minor top at 155.30, USD at risk of bearish reversal towards 154.20/153.65
