Shorter time frame showed a break of short-term support around 1.2855/1.286, with price trying to push back to the 1.286 – 1.2875 range. Failure to move back above 1.2855 threatens to move price back to pre election announcement levels.

Fundamentals

1) Euro-Zone leaders given themselves 3 weeks to finalize Greece Bailout deal. Having a fix dateline may encourage bulls to speculate as the dateline draws nearer.
2) Traders will be looking at ECB Rate Announcement tomorrow for further direction.
