• EUR/USD

Current level-1.4724

EUR/USD is in а corrective phase, after finalizing the slide from 1.6039 (15 July 2008) at 1.3882. Technical indicators are reversed and rising, and trading is situated below the 50- and 200-Day SMA, currently projected at 1.5256 and 1.5220.

After breaking above 1.4159, the pair confirmed a significant bottom, situated at 1.3882 and that currently a broader consolidation is on the run, towards 1.50+.

As expected, 1.4119 ensured good support and the pair reached bottom at 1.4149 and an uptrend emerged, peaking at 1.4865. We feel, that the upmove is not over yet and just a brief corrective phase is what is unfolding after 1.4865, so expect it to be limited above 1.4702 before next leg upwards, to 1.4969. The levels around 1.4969-1.50+ are suitable for a reversal, that will set an end to the whole uptrend from 1.3882, so stay tuned for a clear reversal pattern around 1.50+.
Today's strategy: Stand aside.

As expected the pair reversed below our ideal target at 108.01 and new downtrend began, reaching low at 105.12. A break below 104.02 will confirm our short-term outlook for a slide towards 102.63. Intraday resistance comes at 105.93 and we expect this level to limit the upside for the next leg downwards, to 104.61.
Today's strategy: Stand aside.
