[02:22 [09:14 EUR/USD: Stops Fuel Rally, Sellers Emerge 1.3545] London, December 24:
Stops have fueled the rise in [EUR/USD] to 1.3543 but offers up at 1.3545 just
shy of a 1.3550 option barrier have stalled the rise for the moment. Sellers
look to have the upper hand as they demand higher prices from those looking to
square away shorts and with the market as illiquid as it is they will no doubt
get paid too. Dealers are now eyeing the option barriers at 1.3550 and 1.3560 as
a short-term goal if this momentum can be held and no decent offers emerge to
limit spec and option related buying. --
