EURUSD TECHS: Bear Leg Extends

Oct-10 17:00
  • RES 4: 1.1919 High Sep 17 and a bull trigger
  • RES 3: 1.1820 High Sep 23
  • RES 2: 1.1779 High Oct 1 and a key short-term resistance  
  • RES 1: 1.1699 20-day EMA  
  • PRICE: 1.1577 @ 15:46 BST Oct 10
  • SUP 1: 1.1542 Low Oct 9
  • SUP 2: 1.1516 76.4% retracement of the Aug 1 - Sep 17 bull leg 
  • SUP 3: 1.1392 Low Aug 1 and bear trigger 
  • SUP 4: 1.1313 Low May 30

A short-term corrective bear cycle in EURUSD remains intact and this week’s move lower reinforces current conditions. The 50-day EMA and support at 1.1646, the Sep 25 low, have been breached. Sights are on 1.1516, a Fibonacci retracement. Note that MA studies are in a bull-mode position. This continues to highlight a dominant medium-term uptrend. Initial firm resistance  is 1.1779, the Oct 1 high. A break of this level would signal a bull reversal.
