"The euro surged as much as 1.6 percent against the dollar in the Asian morning Friday as a rush of computer-generated orders caught traders off guard."  
- Bloomberg 


Pair's Outlook 
During the early hours of Friday's trading session all of the technical analysis of the EUR/USD currency exchange rate experienced a shock. The shock came in the form of a surge up to the 1.0653 mark. It was supposedly caused by a rush of computer generated orders. It seems that an algorithm run fund with enough funds to cause such a move changed its forecast for the pair from short to long. At that moment, as the algo recalculated the outlook of the pair it put out the buy orders, and that caused the jump.  

Traders' Sentiment 

SWFX traders remain long on the pair, as 56% of open positions are long. Meanwhile, 60% of trader set up orders are to sell the Euro.
