EUR/USD
Weekly Technical Strategist − EURUSD: Remains Biased To The Downside, Focuses On The 1.4279 Zone by FXTechstrategy
EUR declined for the second week in a row on Friday following its failure at the 1.4967 levels (2007 peak) and subsequent break through its H & S neckline. It printed a low of 1.4310 before closing the week at 1.4381 at the end of Friday trading session. With short term bearish signals still intact as evidenced by its price action and weekly momentum indicators, the pair looks to head lower towards its .382 Ret (1.3359−1.4967 rally) at 1.4356.
