EURUSD Price Action Technical Analysis: ranging around 200-day SMA waiting for direction (adapted from the article)

Daily price is on ranging around 200-day SMA waiting for the direction of the trend to be started. Ascending triangle pattern was formed by the price to be crossed for bullish trend to be resumed.

  • "Near-term support is at 1.1018, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis opening the door for a descent to the 1.0876-1.0912 area (61.8% level, June 24 low). Alternatively, a turn above the 38.2% Fib at 1.1159 paves the way for a retest of trend line support-turned-resistance at 1.1234."
  • "Positioning is inconclusive at this point. The dominant trend continues to appear bearish but follow-through is lackluster and prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. Opting for the sidelines seems prudent until something more actionable presents itself."

If D1 price breaks 1.1001 support level on close bar so we may see the primary bearish trend to be started up to 1.0911 level to re-enter.
If D1 price breaks 1.1164 resistance level on close bar from below to above so the primary bullish trend will be resumed.
If not so the price will be on ranging within the levels.


  • Recommendation for long: watch close D1 price to break 1.1164 for possible buy trade
  • Recommendation to go short: watch D1 price to break 1.1001 support level for possible sell trade
  • Trading Summary: ranging

Trading News Events: European Central Bank (ECB) Interest Rate Decision (adapted from the article)

2016-07-21 11:45 GMT | [EUR - Minimum Bid Rate]

if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for EUR in our case)

[EUR - Minimum Bid Rate] = Interest rate on the main refinancing operations that provide the bulk of liquidity to the banking system.

==========

What’s Expected:


Why Is This Event Important:

"With the U.K.’s imminent exit from the European Union (EU) clouding the economic outlook for the monetary union, ECB President Mario Draghi may take additional steps to insulate the euro-area, and the Governing Council may extend the duration as well as the scope of its quantitative easing (QE) program in an effort to encourage a stronger recovery."

  • "EUR/USD may continue to give back the advance from earlier this year as a head-and-shoulders formation appears to be playing out in the second-half of 2016, with a closing price below the Fibonacci overlap around 1.0960 (23.6% retracement) to 1.0970 (38.2% retracement) opening up the next downside target around 1.0910 (38.2% expansion)."
  • Key Resistance: "1.1760 (61.8% retracement) to 1.1810 (38.2% retracement)."
  • Key Support: "Interim Support: 1.0380 (78.6% expansion) to 1.0410 (61.8% expansion)."
  • Bearish trade: "Need red, five-minute candle following the policy statement to consider a short EUR/USD trade."
  • Bullish trade: "Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade."

==========

EUR/USD H1: ranging inside Ichimoku cloud for direction. The price is located inside Ichimoku cloud for the ranging condition within the following key reversal support/resistance levels:

  • 1.1006 support level located below Ichimoku cloud and near Senkou Span line in the beginning of the bearish trend to be resumed, and
  • 1.1046 resistance level located in the beginning of the bullish trend to be started.


If the price breaks 1.1006 support level to below on close H1 bar so the primary bearish trend will be resumed.
If the price breaks 1.1046 resistance to above on close H1 bar so the bullish reversal will be started.
If not so the price will be continuing with the ranging within the levels.

Technical Targets for EUR/USD by United Overseas Bank (based on the article)

H4 price is located below Ichimoku in the primary bearish area of the chart: price is on ranging within the following narrow support/resistance levels:

  • 1.1058 resistance level located near Senkou Span line in the beginnign of the primary bullish trend to be started, and
  • 1.0979 support level located far below Ichimoku cloud in the bearish area of the chart.

Absolute Strength indicator together with Chinkou Span line are estimating the bear market rally to be started on the secondary ranging way.


Daily price. United Overseas Bank is considering for EUR/USD for the bearish market condition to be continuing with 1.0905/10 and 1.0820 levels as a possible daily target:

"While downward momentum has improved, only a daily closing below 1.1095 would indicate that a move towards 1.0905/10, 1.0820 has started. This scenario still seems likely unless EUR can move back above 1.1120 from here (1.1060 is already a strong short-term resistance)."


  • If daily price breaks 1.1164 resistance level on close bar so the bullish reversal will be started.
  • If daily price breaks 1.0979 support level on close bar so the primary bearish trend will be continuing up to 1.0911 bearish target to re-enter.
  • If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.
