The Chart of the Week: EUR/USD to complete a reverse H&S prior to next leg higher?

EUR/USD has broken a key layer of resistance in its plight for higher grounds.
The charts are offering something for both the bears and bulls at this juncture, however.

However, the pair has dropped back into a consolidation area, or otherwise known as the barroom brawl where there is no clear bias.

If there is a bearish open this week, it will serve well to fit the above analysis as profit-taking ensues.

A break of the 4 HR head and shoulders head and support structure will open up the case for the downside to resume once again and invalidate the bullish outlook.
