Eur/usd - page 554

 

During the past week the EUR/USD pair rallied but finally came a halt. Next week is offering interesting macro data and suggests to be very volitile for the pair.

 
The euro fell against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading, EUR / USD was trading at 1,1181, losing 0.26%. I believe that support is now at around 1.1160, Monday's low, and resistance is likely at 1.1268, Tuesday's high.

Eur/usd trade idea.

Shooting star candle formation on eur/usd weekly chart. Strong bearish signal. Could be heading down to the 1.10000 level where it will attract buyers to send it back upwards to 1.12600

 

The week begins with a holiday in USA, but later in the day the focus will be on Draghi’s speech. During the past week the EUR/USD was trading almost flat and in consolodation between 1.1150 and 1.1260. Friday are due the NFP numbers and may wxpect new direction for the pair.

 

On the last Friday’s session the EURUSD initially rose with but found enough resistance at 1.1237 to trim all its gains and closed near the low of the day, in addition the currency pair managed to close below Thursday’s high, which suggests a strong bearish momentum.

 

The currency pair is trading above the 10, 50, and 200-day moving averages that should provide dynamic support.

 

The key levels to watch are: a Fibonacci extension at 1.1291, a daily resistance at 1.1237, the 10-day moving average at 1.1177 (support), a daily support at 1.1097, previous wing high at 1.1021 (support) and a key level at 1.0970 (support).

 

Having new panic attack in the Eurozone with Greece bank issue, the EUR/USD moved lower and marked weekly low at 1.1122. A break below 1.11 handle would lead bears to test 1.1069.

 

On yesterday session, the EURUSD tried to rise but found enough selling pressure at the 10-day moving average to erase all its gains and closed near the low of the day, in addition the currency pair managed to close below Friday’s low, which suggests a strong bearish momentum.

 

The currency pair is trading below the 10-day moving average that should provide dynamic resistance however is still trading above the 50 and 200-day moving averages that should provide dynamic support.

 

The key levels to watch are: a Fibonacci extension at 1.1291, a daily resistance at 1.1237, the 10-day moving average at 1.1187 (resistance), a daily support at 1.1097, previous wing high at 1.1021 (support) and a key level at 1.0970 (support).

 
The euro / dollar was tentative yesterday but traded lower earlier today, sliding under the EMA 200. Signals are descending to test the support at 1.1080, which remains a good area to place purchases with tight stops. The closest resistance is seen at 1.1160. A clear breakthrough and daily closure over it will cause further upward pressure on testing at 1.1200 - 1.1265. I still prefer a bullish scenario in this phase, but a clear break and daily closure below 1.1080 will open the doors to 1.0950 and will also activate my wait to see a new model.
 

EUR/USD was very close to the important 1.12 handle during the Asia session, but drifted lower and now entered in bearish consolidation. Today are due releases of  German retails sales and Euroarea flash CPI, which can give fresh power to euro bulls.

 

On yesterday session, the EURUSD went back and forward without any clear direction and closed in the middle of the daily range, however the currency pair closed within Monday’s range, which suggests being clearly neutral neither side is showing control.

 

The currency pair is trading below the 10-day moving average that should provide dynamic resistance however is still trading above the 50 and 200-day moving averages that should provide dynamic support.

 

The key levels to watch are: a Fibonacci extension at 1.1291, a daily resistance at 1.1237, the 10-day moving average at 1.1193 (resistance), a daily support at 1.1097, previous wing high at 1.1021 (support) and a key level at 1.0970 (support).
