EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Upside favored on inverse head-and-shoulders breakout

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

The inverse head-and-shoulders breakout seen in EUR/USD's 4-hour chart validates the bullish view put forward by the falling channel breakout on Monday and represents a bearish-to-bullish trend change (transition from lower highs and lower lows to higher highs and higher lows).

As a result, the common currency could rise to 1.14 in the next day or two. The bullish case would weaken if the spot finds acceptance under the inverse head-and-shoulders neckline, currently at 1.1330.
