Is the double bottom formation a prelude to a EUR/USD uptrend?

Embarking into the second half of 2023, traders have witnessed the EURUSD cascade lower since mid-July, meticulously crafting a downward channel that is acutely demarcated with parallel black lines. This technical formation has encapsulated a clear bearish trend, entrapping the currency pair within a rigid downward trajectory and surfacing opportunities for persistent bearish positions.

Perusing the structure, one cannot help but observe the pair’s pronounced weakness, especially considering the dual tests of the lower boundary of the channel in recent sessions. Each descent towards this critical support has been met with a resilient defiance from buyers, momentarily halting the bearish momentum and teasing a potential respite from the perpetual downfall.

Chart

In the context of this bearish backdrop, a glimmer of bullish potential is beginning to surface. EURUSD appears to be crafting a ‘double bottom’ formation, distinctly highlighted by yellow rectangles that symbolize two prominent troughs in the pair’s journey. This technical pattern often heralds a potential reversal, especially when found after a notable downtrend.

Traders find themselves perched on the edge of anticipation, with eyes keenly fixated on a pivotal breakout above the upper black line of the channel down formation and a crucial green horizontal resistance. This line, acting as the neckline of the suggestive double bottom, becomes the make-or-break level for bullish proponents. A convincing daily close above these resistances signals an exhilarating shift into bullish territories, while a rejection, particularly one accompanied by bearish price action or candlestick formations, would reinvigorate the prevailing downtrend.
