Failure Ahead of The 1.3852/82 zone Suggests A Retest of The 1.3443 Level.

EURUSD: EUR looks to head to the downside again as its attempt on the upside was halted ahead of the 1.3852/82 zone, its Sept 11’08 low/July’07 high opening up risk towards its YTD low at 1.3443.Presence of three shooting star candles remains supportive of the said retest which is also in line with its medium term downtrend. Invalidating the latter will push the pair lower aiming at its Dec’04 high/August’07 low at 1.3366/61 where a break could see EUR weaken further towards the 1.3312/1.3264 zone, its .618 Ret (1.1640-1.6038 rally)/Jun’07 low. On the upside, the 1.3682/66 zone, its April’07/Dec’04 highs will serve as the first target ahead of the 1.3852/82 zone followed by its Oct’07 low at 1.4015 and subsequently its Sept 16’08 low at 1.4073.The daily studies are oversold and a positive divergence is in place supporting a temporary bounce case. On the whole, the pair’s broader bias remains to the downside with any corrective gains seen as short term.
