  • EUR/USD bears looking for a deeper impulse to test bullish commitments at weekly support. 
  • Bulls taking charge and eye the daily resistance for weekly upside continuation probability. 

As per the prior analysis, EUR/USD Price Analysis: Bears are lurking with eyes on 61.8% Fibo target, the market has melted to the target and now the focus is on the upside should the support structure hold. 

Prior analysis, daily chart

''The daily chart is showing a W-formation on the candles.

The rule of thumb is that the majority of such formations will see a restest of the prior highs of the pattern which will act as support prior to a bullish continuation. 

In this case, the 61.8% Fibonacci is the key target.''

''The weekly chart is showing signs of upside exhaustion and would be expected to see the price to the 38.2% or the 50% mean-reversion targets.''
