Clearing 1.34 shines the spotlight on last Wednesday’s high at 1.3477, closely followed by the 1.35 level, a round number merging with a H4 Quasimodo resistance (red arrow) and weekly resistance at 1.3503 (the 2018 yearly opening value).

As the US dollar index climbed 91.00 amidst a deterioration in risk sentiment Wednesday, EUR/USD overthrew the 1.21 handle on the H4.
