EURUSD Technical Analysis 2015, May: Bearish with Weekly Rally and Monthly Ranging with 1.0461 Key Support Level - page 2

 
Sergey Golubev:

W1 price is is located on the primary bearish with the market rally and 1.1240 resistance level for trying to be broken on open W1 bar for now:

  • Ichimoku cloud/kumo with Sinkou Span A line (which is the virtual border between the primary bullish and the primary bearish on the chart) are above the price and too far from it for any possible reversal of the price movement from the primary bearish to the bullish market condition in May 2015.
  • Tenkan-sen line is below Kijun-sen line of Ichimoku which is indicating the primary bearish.
  • The price is ranging between 1.1240 resistance and 1.0461 support level
  • The local uptrend as the secondary market rally is going to be started: the triangle pattern was broken by the price from below to above with 1.1240 resistance level for trying to be crossed on open W1 bar.
  • Chinkou Span line is below the price and showing the local uptrend by the direction
  • Nearest support levels are 1.0520 (W1) and 1.0461 (W1)
  • Nearest resistance levels are 1.1051 (W1) and 1.1240 (W1)
If W1 price will break 1.0461 support level on close W1 bar so the primary bearish will be continuing

If W1 price will break 1.1240 resistance level so we may see the local uptrend as the secondary market rally to be started
If not so the price will be ranging between 1.0461 and 1.1240 levels with primary bearish

  • Recommendation for long: watch close W1 price to break 1.1240 for possible buy trade
  • Recommendation to go short: watch W1 price to break 1.0461 support level for possible sell trade
  • Trading Summary: ranging

W1 price broke 1.1240 resistance level and bear market rally is started within the primary bearish (but for open W1 bar for now sorry). Next resistance level (next top) for now is 1.1289:

Euro off lows after EC forecasts (based on investing.com article)

The euro backed away from session lows on Tuesday after the European Commission raised its growth forecast for the euro zone this year, as investors looked ahead to U.S. data on service sector activity and trade later in the day.

EUR/USD was at 1.1119, still down 0.24% for the day, after falling to lows of 1.1066 earlier.

In its quarterly forecasts the EC said it now expects the euro zone economy to grow to 1.5% in 2015 up from 1.3% three months ago.

The Commission also revised up its forecast for inflation this year to 0.1% from its earlier forecast for a decline of 0.1% and said it expects inflation of 1.5% in 2015 up from 1.3%.

But it slashed its forecast for Greek economic growth to just 0.5% this year down from 2.5% previously and warned that the recovery has stalled since snap elections at the end of last year.

The euro remained under pressure following media reports that the International Monetary Fund pushed the euro zone to cut Greece’s debt burden last month, amid fears that its debt is becoming unsustainable.

Athens is scrambling to reach an agreement with its creditors on a package of economic reforms for more bailout funds before it runs out of cash.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Eyeing Support Below 1.10 (based on dailyfx article)

The Euro put in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern, hinting a move lower against the US Dollar may be in the cards. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 1.0982 exposes the 23.6% level at 1.0793. Alternatively, a push above the 38.2% Fib retracement at 1.1271 opens the door for a challenge of the 50% threshold at 1.1519.

Goldman Sachs - FX markets appear to 'throwing a tantrum' (based on forexlive article)

In a research note to clients, Goldman Sachs say data will improve and the USD selloff will reverse:

"After the perfect storm in March -- a dovish Fed and weak payrolls -- price action around last week's GDP disappointment was a howl of disapproval, something akin to the 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch. Foreign-exchange markets appear to be throwing a 'tantrum.'"
