Sudden mood change on June 6th, but those who followed recommendations to switch to shorter time frames just went with the flow.

60mins: retracement slowing down
ER2 is now in a mild correction mode. Fib levels give a possible support around current lows, but ER2 could well drift lower to ~728 (stall level in shorter time frames) or right down to 719 strong support level.
A soft landing is the favoured scenario, but we'll remain cautious as we're in a high volatility environment right now.

Daily: up trend being challenged
We first notice a very alarming candle formation which often leads to a sizeable retracement. A target around 720 (also visible on the 60mins chart) is certainly in the cards. MTFS is not indicative of a fall, but of a congestion with a lower bias, so we believe at this point in time that the coming support level will hold.

on EURUSD, we have a support level just below yesterday's lows and a possible target at 1.5381. A bounce to 1.550 is possible.

Weekly: up recovery is still valid for the time being
We now have a better idea of where the long awaited resistance level actually is. We shall probably see the expected consolidation developing over the next few weeks but while we keep a close eye on a possible pivot level and new fib formation, we still only anticipate a congestion to minor retracement for the time being.
