EURUSD TECHS: Testing Support

Jul-06 17:00
  • RES 4: 1.1095 High Apr 26 and key resistance
  • RES 3: 1.1054 High May 8
  • RES 2: 1.0977/1012 High Jun 27 / 22 and the bull trigger
  • RES 1: 1.0934 High Jul 3
  • PRICE: 1.0867 @ 16:18 BST Jul 6
  • SUP 1: 1.0824/04 50.0% of the May 31 - Jun 22 rally / Low Jun 15
  • SUP 2: 1.0779 61.8% retracement of the May 31 - Jun 22 rally
  • SUP 3: 1.0733 Low Jun 12
  • SUP 4: 1.0724 76.4% retracement of the May 31 - Jun 22 rally

EURUSD is trading lower and is testing support at 1.0835, the Jun 30 low. The latest pullback is considered corrective, however, the move lower highlights a clear break of the 50-day EMA, at 1.0858, signalling scope for a deeper retracement. This has opened 1.0804, the Jun 15 low. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 1.0934, the Jul 3 high. A break would ease bearish pressure.

EURUSD TECHS: Trend Direction Remains Down

  • RES 4: 1.1007 High May 10
  • RES 3: 1.0905 High May 16
  • RES 2: 1.0829 50-day EMA values
  • RES 1: 1.0789 20-day EMA
  • PRICE: 1.0688 @ 16:24 BST Jun 6
  • SUP 1: 1.0667/35 Low Jun 6 / Low May 31 and the bear trigger
  • SUP 2: 1.0608 Low Mar 17
  • SUP 3: 1.0551 Low Mar 16
  • SUP 4: 1.0516 Low Mar 15 and a key support

EURUSD short-term gains are considered corrective and the downtrend remains intact. Fresh trend lows last week reinforce bearish conditions and price continues to trade below the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Note too that 1.0653 has been breached, 76.4% of the Mar 15 - Apr 26 rally and this opens 1.0551, the Mar 16 low. A firm resistance is seen at 1.0789, the 20-day EMA. A break of this average would ease bearish pressure.
