Definitely a tough day for the EUR.  The pair fell over 200 pips at one point, but closed just inside that.  The move was far beyond average, but as mentioned in previous posts, the 1.4500 level was very important and when the market broke through it, it fell aggressively and swiftly. This has put support…
