Talking Points
- EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
- Haramioffered bearish signal near the 1.3950 mark
- 4 hour chart shows little signs of a potential bounce

This leaves a bullish reversal signal missing for the pair and suggests a drop to the next definitive support level at 1.3480 may be on the cards, if the candle can close below 1.3670.
