Last week opening was bad for EURUSD. Prime Minister of Italy has lost the referendum with a big gap. This resulted in pair’s fall to 1.05 level, but bulls managed to the keep the attack: EURUSD closed the day around 1.0760, with the intraday range around three patterns. Further, the pair was developing correction bounce during a week. Eventually, by ECB rate decision on Thursday, EURUSD had already two attempts to climb above 1.08. The same as a year ago, markets were waiting for details about further development from December ECB meeting. They did not have instant changes, but the markets more…
