EURUSD TECHS: Bull Cycle Intact

Jun-04 17:00
  • RES 4: 1.1625 1.500 proj of the Feb 28 - Mar 18 - 27 price swing
  • RES 3: 1.1608 High Nov 9 2021
  • RES 2: 1.1573 High Apr 21 and the bull trigger
  • RES 1: 1.1455 High Jun 03
  • PRICE: 1.1424 @ 16:20 BST Jun 4
  • SUP 1: 1.1313 20-day EMA
  • SUP 2: 1.1190/1.1065 50-day EMA and a pivot level / Low May 12
  • SUP 3: 1.1026 38.2% retracement of the Feb 3 - Apr 21 bull cycle
  • SUP 4: 1.0943 Low Apr 10

A bullish theme in EURUSD remains intact despite yesterday’s pullback. The recent breach of  1.1419, the May 26 high, confirms a resumption of the trend and opens 1.1573, the Apr 21 high and bull trigger. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a clear uptrend. Support to watch lies at 1.1190, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would undermine the bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement.

EURUSD TECHS: Corrective Cycle Remains In Play

May-05 17:00
  • RES 4: 1.1696 1.618 proj of the Feb 28 - Mar 18 - 27 price swing 
  • RES 3: 1.1625 1.500 proj of the Feb 28 - Mar 18 - 27 price swing
  • RES 2: 1.1608 High Nov 9 2021
  • RES 1: 1.1440/1573 High Apr 23 / 21 and the bull trigger  
  • PRICE: 1.1353 @ 14:59 BST May 5
  • SUP 1: 1.1264 20-day EMA and a key support
  • SUP 2: 1.1144 High APr 3    
  • SUP 3: 1.1036 50-day EMA and a pivot level     
  • SUP 4: 1.0805 Low Apr 3  

A corrective cycle in EURUSD remains in play. The trend structure is unchanged, it remains bullish. MA studies are in a bull-mode position  signalling a dominant uptrend, and the latest move down is allowing an overbought condition to unwind. A resumption of gains would open 1.1608, the Nov 9 2021 high. Initial key support to watch is the 20-day EMA, at 1.1264. A break of this average would signal scope for a deeper pullback.
