The pair neared 1.1228, which is the 23.6% Fib R of the corrective move witnessed from 1.0461 to 1.1465. The sell-off begun at a high of 1.1337 seen in the early European session, which gathered pace after the pair dipped below 1.1293 (23.6% R of 1.3991-1.0461).

The common currency was also pushed down by news that an EU official said the new Greek reform proposal submitted earlier today was inadequate and vague. There were also reports that German Fin Min Schaeuble and Varoufakis still have diverging views.
