This is a bullish candlestick scenario and is encouraging for the bulls and countertrend traders. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the prior bearish impulse is located at 1.1270 also, cementing the target down for the week ahead.
EUR/USD H1 chart
From a near term perspective, the bulls continue to press on in the New York trade. However. there are now up against a wall of resistance near 1.1230 that could be expected to reject the price in initial tests. However, the market is bullish while above 1.1210. 1.1240 should give way to 1.1270 targets in coming sessions. On the flip side, a break below 1.1180 would leave the price in consolidation once again.
