Key quotes
“EUR/RUB has sold off and has broken down through the September low at 87.46, a close below here will be viewed as bearish.”

“An immediate negative bias will remain entrenched below 88.32, the mid-December low. We would allow for further losses to the August trough at 85.64 to be reached together with the 50% retracement at 85.30 and the 61.8% retracement at 83.22 (of the move up from the June 2020 low).”

“Above here resistance is seen along the 55-day moving average at 89.96.”
