Time to position

Absence of the European markets may leave the investors without catalysts for another trading day, and judging by Good Friday ranges, we may not see much this day. Most probably the pair will be confined to 30-pip range it already showed in the morning. Nevertheless, all those traders who came back to the trades will have time to position before the key events of the week. Although we don’t expect to see many important releases, still high volatility is not ruled out, as the market will be watching the situation in Russia closely. The downside is limited by support level at 102.43, and the upside – by 102.72 resistance.
