EUR/USD has broken below the 20-day Donchian price-channel. The decline began Aug. 30, and the price, with one major retracement, has fallen nearly 8%.

EUR also fell sharply against JPY, breaking below the price channel, and rose sharply against AUD, CAD and the Scandinavians, breaking above the price channel against NOK and SEK.
AUD accelerated its decline against USD, which began July 28 and, whith one large retracement, has covered nearly 12%.

The breakouts would be playable under my rules, but given the strength of the price change, I intend to wait for a retracement before opening any position.
