EURUSD TECHS: Has Cleared The 20-Day EMA

Jan-21 18:00
  • RES 4: 1.1919 High Sep 17 and a key M/T resistance  
  • RES 3: 1.1848 High Sep 18
  • RES 2: 1.1808 High Dec 24 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 1.1768 High Jan 20
  • PRICE: 1.1708 @ 17:10 GMT Jan 21
  • SUP 1: 1.1633/1573 Low Jan 20 / 19 and the bear trigger
  • SUP 2: 1.1549 76.4% retracement of the Nov 5 - Dec 12 bull leg
  • SUP 3: 1.1512 Low Nov 25
  • SUP 4: 1.1491 Low Nov 21  

The recovery in EURUSD from Monday’s low has altered the technical picture. The rally highlights a reversal of the bear leg that has been in place since Dec 24. Monday’s price pattern is a bullish engulfing candle - a reversal signal. The pair has cleared the 20-day EMA strengthening a reversal threat, and 1.1743, the high Jan 6, has been pierced. A clear breach of this level would further strengthen a bull theme. Key support is 1.1573, the Jan 19 low.
