​​EUR/USD drops to over 2-year low

EUR/USD continues its descent and now flirts with the late November 2022 low at $1.0223. Below it lies the September 2022 high at $1.0197 which may offer interim support on the way down towards parity.

The previous key support area at the $1.0333 to $1.0344 November and December lows should now, because of inverse polarity, act as resistance.
