EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Bear trend ready to resume its course

  • EUR/USD has found resistance below the 1.1432 resistance and at the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average on the 15-minute chart suggesting that the correction might soon be coming to an end. 
  • Bears next objective is to reconquer to 2018 low at 1.1365 in order to drive the market towards 1.1300 figure and 1.1178 June 27, 2017 low.
  • The main resistance is seen at 1.1432 and 1.1483 intraday swing high (August 10). A breakout above 1.1432 would invalidate the bearish scenario in the short-term.
