Forex: EUR/USD squeezed back to 1.2850

In reaction to ECB Draghi’s press conference, the EUR/USD fell from 1.2836 to 1.2757, a fresh 2013 low. But the market considered that the EUR was too cheap compared to the greenback and bids brought it back to the opening price at 1.2848, erasing all daily losses and attempting to move higher now. Behind such recovery was Draghi’s forceful defense of Open Market Transactions and his dismissal of redenomination risk set off a serious squeeze, according to FXbriefs.com analyst Jamie Coleman.
