EURUSD TECHS: Pierces Pivot Support At The 50-Day EMA

Aug-27 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: 1.1594 @ 15:53 BST Aug 27
  • SUP 1: 1.1574/1.1528 Low Aug 27 / 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 

The trend set-up in EURUSD remains bullish and short-term weakness is for now considered corrective. However, the pair is trading lower today and has pierced key support at the 50-day EMA, at 1.1599. A clear break of the average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and potentially expose key M/T support at 1.1392, the Aug 1 low. For bulls, a resumption of gains would open key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.1829, the Jul 1 high.
