EurUsd saw a brief spike to 1.2295 on Friday
|EURUSD: 1.2218
EurUsd saw a brief spike to 1.2295 on Friday but then slid steadily lower, with the dollar making slow but steady gains, seemingly unworried by the prospect of a US Government shutdown. The pair finished on their lows but well above the week’s low of 1.2165.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: Turning lower Daily Indicators: Up Weekly Indicators: Turning higher
Preferred Strategy: A neutral stance seems wise at the start of the week with the momentum indicators showing little change from Friday. The short term momentum indicators are pointing a little lower, so a retest of 1.2200/1.2170 would not surprise, but with the dailies still looking positive, a return to the trend high should not be discounted either.
NB. The Euro is opening inter-bank trade on Monday at 1.2265. A cautious stance is required.
Buy EurUsd @ 1.2170. SL @ 1.2280, TP @ 1.2135
