EUR/USD Rally (based on the article)



  • "The EUR/USD is trading back towards key points of daily resistance, after German GDP figures beat expectations. German GDP (YoY) was expected at 1.8%, but released at 1.9%. This move has now led to a two day rally for the pair spanning 231 pips." 
  • "Technically the EUR/USD is trading higher, but quickly running into resistance. As seen in the graph below, the pair is currently testing a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level found at 1.0669. This measurement has been found by taking the distance between the December 8th high at 1.0873 and the January 3rd low at 1.0340."

    EUR/USD with New 2017 Highs (based on the article)

    H4 price is on testing 1.0771 resistance level to above for the intra-day bullish trend to be continuing.

    The price is located above 200 SMA in the bullish area of the chart within the following support/resistance levels:

    • 1.0771 resistance level for the bullish trend to be resumed, and
    • 1.0612 support level for the correction to be started.


    • "The EUR/USD has started Mondays trading pushing to new 2017 highs at 1.0754. With today’s rally, the EUR/USD has now risen as much as 414 pips from the current 2017 low at 1.0340. Technically the pair remains bullish in the short term, as the EUR/USD remains trading above its 10 day EMA (exponential moving average). This line is currently acting as short-term support for the pair and found at 1.0647."
    • "On a longer-term basis, the EUR/USD is still arguably in a downtrend as the pair trades below its 200-day MVA (Simple Moving Average). While the 200-day average at 1.1022 remains a critical point of resistance, traders will next look for the EUR/USD to clear the December 8 high at 1.0873. Failure to trade beyond this point would help classify this short-term bull run as a retracement in an otherwise downtrend."
