The price recovered to the 45th degree of minimum 1.2273. As a result, formed intraday reversal pattern.
Since today is Monday and the economic calendar is empty, I believe that after a slight decrease in pair will continue to grow until the 67th degree 1.2356. Note that the main euro crosses but EUR / JPY and EUR / AUD traded in positive territory and maintain evrobykov. This means that the general weakening of the dollar could quickly reach 1.2356 euros on the opening of London. From him forward downward correction to the level of 1.2318. The day will be similar to break-even.
