EUR/USD has been rejected from the monthly support in a correction of the monthly bullish impulse. With some more work to do below the structure, the bears have the upper hand, albeit potentially only momentarily.

The following is a top-down analysis from which deciphers where the next bearish opportunity could evolve before the resumption of the uptrend.

Monthly charts

The monthly chart has corrected to a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, but there could still be some more room to go until the correction meets prior resistance.

In doing so, there will be a bearish prospect on the lower time frames before the bulls take back control.

As ca be seen, the bulls are already outside of the long-term bearish channel.

Weekly chart

The weekly charts show that the price is now below an important resistance structure.

In a continuation on the lower time frames to the downside for the week ahead, the chart will be forming a weekly overextended M-formation.

Daily chart

The weekly price action would enable a retest of the daily structure before the downside continues.

4-hour chart

The price on the 4-hour chart is overextended and due for a correction. Bears will wait for the price to correct before seeking an optimal entry to target monthly demand.

EUR/USD looks consolidative around 1.1460

EUR/USD stages a modest rebound after slipping to a three-month low below 1.1420 at the end of the week.

Gold slips back to six-day lows, targets $4,100

Gold retreats for the third consecutive day on Friday, eroding gains seen in the first half of the week and approaching the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce.

The Iran war didn't break the US economy, but what happens next?

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
