EUR/USD has something for everyone.

At first glance, the pair looks to be setting up for a daily bullish continuation.

However, the elephant in the room is the bearish daily W-formation and prospects of a firmer greenback.

Leaving fundamentals aside, the US dollar is correcting.

Following a period of accumulation, there would be prospects of a deeper correction of the recent sell-off.

The following top-down analysis illustrates the bearish bias vs the prospects of a bullish continuation in the euro.

The bullish outlook from daily support

The price is starting to stabilise at a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and in an area of old resistance established in the first days of July.

Bearish W-formation, EUR/USD

However, the W-formation is a high completion rate reversion pattern.

The theory is that the price will revert back to test the old highs of the neckline, in this case near 1.1830 which has a confluence with the 50% mean reversion Fibo as well as the 10-day EMA.

Moreover, the price has been resisted by the 50-day EMA leaving bearish wicks on three upside failures to extend higher.

Bullish M-formation, DXY daily chart

The DXY index is also constructively bullish with the convergence of the 50 and 200-day EMAs at an area of support within a bullish M-formation pattern.

The 50% and 61.8% Fibos are a compelling target area on a break of the current highs of 92.20.

EUR/USD hourly & 15-min charts

Meanwhile, this opens a downside opportunity which can be monitored from a lower vantage point on both the hourly and 15-min charts as follows:

Bears will look for a break of current support near 1.1860.

This are would be then expected to act as resistance on a restest from which could offer an optimal entry point to target the daily M-formation neckline's highs near 1.1830.

AUD/USD holds a positive bias for the fourth straight day, trading above 0.7000 in the Asian session on Wednesday and at three-week highs.

USD/JPY remains confined in a familiar range below 158.50

USD/JPY sees some dip-buying in the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains confined within a multi-week range near 158.50 as the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike keeps Japanese Yen bulls on the defensive. Meanwhile, hawkish Fed expectations, bolstered by inflation risks stemming from volatile oil prices, underpin the US Dollar. However, looming intervention fears could limit JPY losses and cap the currency pair.

Gold appears slightly bid above $4,100

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything
