Technical view:

At Friday's session, the pair was unable to breach 1.2495 (Thursday's high) levels. Today, the pair opened on a bearish note trading on a downtick with the strong US dollar. Today, the pair direction will be determined at the US session by the industrial production report and NAHB housing market index. We are expecting an uptick from the US data. The pair has a strong resistance zone between 1.2507 and 1.2530. The hourly resistance exists at 1.2494. In case of negative readings on the US data, it may ignite some bullish power above 1.2530 with the targets at 1.2600. The intraday support exists at 1.2370. The hourly support exists at 1.2420 and 1.2400. We recommend selling with the targets at 1.2420, 1.2400, and maybe even at 1.2370 levels.

We can expect panic selling below 1.2360 levels.
