　　Short-Term Outlook

　　Trader reaction to 1.2187 will set the tone into the close.

　　Bearish Scenario

　　A sustained move under 1.2187 will indicate the selling pressure is getting stronger which could lead to an eventual test of 1.2074, followed by the main bottom at 1.2025. Not only will the trend change to down if this level is violated, but it could also trigger an acceleration to the downside.

　　Bullish Scenario

　　A sustained move over 1.2187 will signal the presence of buyers. This could lead to a quick test of a retracement zone at 1.2241 to 1.2266. Aggressive counter-trend sellers could come in on a test of this zone in an effort to form a potentially bearish secondary lower top.
