  • EUR/USD bulls are leaving the market as the market consolidates.
  • Swing traders are looking for signs that the market is turning and confirmation on the lower time frames.

EUR/USD is decelerating in a phase of distribution and the following offers a top-down analysis for swing traders.

There are a number of steps that the price action will need to go through prior to confirming a new bearish bias within breakout from the current structure.

Monthly chart

The monthly chart offers a downside target in a correcting bullish market.

Daily chart

A trend line has been broken and retested on the daily chart.

Failures to get back above the counter trendline opens the risk of a breakout to the downside from a decelerating uptrend. 

4HR chart

As can be seen, the four-hour scenario illustrated in the above chart shows the potential of a 61.8% retracement of the recent rally following a possible rejection at the current resistance.

The price action flow on the chart is determined from examining support and resistance structures and expected reaction to them in a falling market.
