Quote of the day:“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.” ~ Alfred A. Montapert

Good morning. EURUSD is approaching the 3-months support zone as risk-off trade intensifies across the board – CHF and JPY extending gains all over the place, Gold reaching new record highs while writing these lines, AUDJPY breaking below critical support as noted yesterday. Well, things just go from very bad to worse - you get the picture. Let’s take a quick look at some charts.
