But the moves in Aussie and European majors are also picking up. Loonie is the worst performing one today, despite the mega 1% rate hike by BoC yesterday. It's some what weighed down by oil prices, with WTI breaching April's low. Yen is currently the second worst. Technically, EUR/USD breaks parity with another fall today. A main focus is indeed on 100% projection of 1.1184 to 1.0348 from 1.0773 at 0.9937. As long as this projection level holds, there is still prospect of a near term rebound.
