EUR/USD double divergence warning signal for strong uptrend

  • EUR/USD is showing double bearish divergence within the strong uptrend. What does the divergence on the 4 hour indicate for the start of the new trading year in 2021?

  • This article reviews the expected wave and chart patterns plus key targets and support and resistance levels.

  • The EUR/USD double divergence is certainly a warning sign for the bulls. This increases the chance that a bearish retracement is likely to occur.

Price Charts and Technical Analysis

  • The main confirmation of a pullback is when price breaks below the support line (blue).

  • The main target for the bearish breakout (orange arrows) is the 144 ema zone.

  • The 144 ema is where the uptrend could continue and find support (blue arrows).

The other possibility is that the divergence pattern creates a pauze in the uptrend. A triangle chart pattern might emerge first (grey arrows).

An immediate breakout above the yearly high of 2020 is not expected right now. But any bullish continuation, now or later, is aiming at 1.24 and 1.25.

On the 15 minute chart, price action could be building a bullish ABC (grey) pattern. A bearish bounce could take place at resistance.

But for a larger retracement to take place, price action needs to break below the support (green) for a breakout (red arrow).

Bull flag patterns (orange arrows) could indicate that the bulls are too strong and could over rule the divergence on the 4 hour chart.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues.

Cardano steadies as whale selling caps recovery

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively.
