EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Strong breakouts take time to develop - EUR/USD getting ready for advance above 1.1750 key resistance


  • EUR/USD main bear trend is on hold for the sixth consecutive week as the bulls are trying to create a reversal up. 
  • EUR/USD is currently consolidating the recent advance from the triangle compression pattern (blue lines) just below the 1.1700 level. EUR/USD is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart suggesting a bullish bias. Bulls objective is to break above 1.1750 which was a strong resistance level in July, therefore it is to be expected that bulls take time to gather enough momentum in order to breakout above 1.1750 level. 
  • On the flip side, if the bears take over the market and drive it below 1.1530 it would likely signify that the bullish bias has switched to bearish.
