Oversold Euro tests 100wma

"Euro on course for second weekly drop, defense of 100wma (1.1356) and oversold technicals suggest the correction has run its course for now. Support 1.1270, resistance 1.1450."

"EUR/USD sank below 1.14. Worryingly, the stronger services PMI data in September for Germany and France, and the latest rise in the German IFO business survey, failed to attract dip buying."

"Technicals are stretched but a deeper drop cannot be ruled out in 4Q. For the ECB, the weaker euro and elevated oil prices complicate the inflation challenge and only adds to the asymmetric sell off in European debt, raising the burden for governments to stabilise debt levels."
