EURUSD: Neutral – Prefer to sell rallies

Jim Langlands FX Charts

EURUSD: 1.1898

EurUsd has sharply reversed from the 1.1960 session highs, currently sitting near the low of 1.1895, and from the look of the short term momentum indicators it maybe that we are headed for a further test of the downside. The daily techs are also warning the Euro longs, with an inverted hammer formation hinting at lower levels ahead.

If so, on the downside, minor support will be seen right here, but below which could head back to 1.1875 where the daily cloud top will attract buyers. below that would open the way to 1.1850 and possibly towards 1.1800 although I would be surprised to see it back down there today.

On the topside, resistance will be seen at the session high, if we get there, above which would see little resistance until 1.2000. Beyond this would open the way to 1.2030/50 and even on towards the 8 Sept low at 1.2096.

Preferred Strategy: For Tuesday, I prefer to look to sell into rallies towards 1.1940, but with a tight SL placed above 1.1960.

Sell EurUsd @ 1.1940. SL @ 1.1970, TP @ 1.1850
