EURUSD TECHS: Bull Cycle Still In Play

Dec-10 18:00
  • RES 4: 1.1779 High Oct 1   
  • RES 3: 1.1747 50.0% retracement of the Sep 17 - Nov 5 bear leg
  • RES 2: 1.1728 High Oct 17
  • RES 1: 1.1694 50.0% retracement of the Sep 17 - Nov 5 bear leg 
  • PRICE: 1.1647 @ 16:20 GMT Dec 10
  • SUP 1: 1.1607 20-day EMA 
  • SUP 2: 1.1547 Low Nov 26
  • SUP 3: 1.1491/1469 Low Nov 21
  • SUP 4: 1.1469 Low Nov 5 and the bear trigger  

EURUSD is in consolidation mode but continues to trade closer to its recent highs and a bull cycle remains intact. The recent breach of key short-term resistance at 1.1656, the Nov 13 high and a bull trigger, highlights a potential reversal and opens 1.1694 next, a Fibonacci retracement. A breach of this retracement point would strengthen the developing bull theme. Initial support to watch is 1.1607, the 20-day EMA. A breach of the EMA would be bearish.
