EURUSD TECHS: Corrective Pullback

Aug-26 17:00
  • RES 4: 1.1851 High Sep 10 2021
  • RES 3: 1.1829 High Jul 01 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 2: 1.1789 High Jul 24 
  • RES 1: 1.1743 High Aug 22
  • PRICE: 1.1660 @ 16:15 BST Aug 26
  • SUP 1: 1.1597/1.1528 50-day EMA / Low Aug 5 
  • SUP 2: 1.1392 Low Aug 1 and bear trigger 
  • SUP 3: 1.1373 Low Jun 10 
  • SUP 4: 1.1313 Low May 30 

Despite Monday's move down, the trend set-up in EURUSD remains bullish and short-term weakness is for now considered corrective. Support at the 50-day EMA remains intact, at 1.1597. A clear break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement and potentially expose key support at 1.1392, the Aug 1 low. For bulls, a stronger resumption of gains would open key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.1829, the Jul 1 high.
