The key bull/bear line in the sand for EUR/USD has been broken to the downside, once again marking a major shift in the trend outlook for the currency pair.
The level we’re referring to is a zone between 1.1025 and 1.1072, which is a former resistance from March.
We saw the market go over this level in April and consolidate above it in May, but now it looks as if enough shorts have been stopped out for this pair to continue back down for a test of the 1.05 zone.
Remember that with the final deadline for Greece’s agreement with creditors seemingly close by, we could see a buy-the-news and sell-the-fact dynamic play out, where during the whole negotiation process, we saw EUR/USD climb, while at the final stage we see it collapse once again, and possibly continue lower.
Trading Plan
Currently our outlook focuses on the short term, with targets in the 1.0850 – 1.0950 range already being hit on a break of the bull/bear line we mentioned earlier in the 1.10s.
Currently we see shorts toward 1.0920 with a target of 1.08 and a tight stop as a good setup. Actually, shorts at any of our marked levels above and up to the bull/bear line at 1.1025 – 1.1072 are good short
