EUR/USD probable scenarios

“A firm print, coupled with the reopening optimism across Europe could see the pair breach the 19 May high, and leaving the Jan high of 1.2349 the next multisession target.” 

On the flipside, any disappointment could see first support at 1.2150.”

“Note that the divergence between spot and the short term implied valuations is creeping higher.”
