Maybe I'm over-simplifying things (is that bad to do in forex?) but...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what's supposed to happen?
Bad news US = Euro drops
Bad news EU = Euro climbs
but "typically" when the news is extraordinarily bad for the yoorow, like the german numbers just were, the opposite side of the pair (USD) would strengthen for a bit until the reaction had run thru the markets, meaning the price would drop in favor of the USD.
when the geitner and fomc news came out last week for instance, the dollar weakened instantly, causing multi hundred pip jumps UP on the charts in favor of the yoorow.
bad to medium bad numbers have largley been ignored or irrelevant for some time now as no one expects anything different from anybody. still, REALLY bad numbers usually cause a blip or two for a bit as the black box trades cycle thru.
this one apparently gets leaked alot according to the little info doohickey and was medium impact at best, so i would imagine that's why the current trend stayed intact w/o any blips.
I've mostly ignored news for quite awhile now for those reasons.
FUBAR...

I don't quite understand your terminology there...
but "typically" when the news is extraordinarily bad for the yoorow, like the german numbers just were, the opposite side of the pair (USD) would strengthen for a bit until the reaction had run thru the markets, meaning the price would drop in favor of the USD.

My understanding is... bad numbers in the USA means people in the USA put their money in dollars as a safe haven, which makes Euro drop. Bad numbers in EU means people in Europe put their money in the Euro which makes the Euro climb.
This of course depends on which market is open at that time, because not as many Europeans are trading during NY hours and vice versa.
We also have the most basic facts which are that the Euro is offering a higher rate than the Dollar, and also that the US is printing money like it's toilet paper so at the most simple level it would make sense to buy Euro over the Dollar which would drive Euro up, right?
