Price Signal Summary - EURUSD Trend Needle Still Points South
- S&P E-Minis maintain a softer tone following last week’s bearish cycle and the pullback from Tuesday’s high of 3950.00. The next support lies at 3735.00, the Jun 23 low. EUROSTOXX 50 futures remain soft following the recent reversal from 3584.00, the Jun 27 high The move lower exposes the key support and bear trigger at 3384.00, Jun 16 low.
- EURUSD remains vulnerable. The pair continues to trade inside its bear channel, drawn from the Feb 10 high. The channel top intersects at 1.0592 where a break is required to reverse the short-term direction. USDJPY continues to trade below recent highs. The trend condition remains bullish and short-term weakness is still considered corrective. A fresh cycle high last week confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend and this maintains the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. On Friday, AUDUSD traded below its key short-term support at 0.6829, the May 12 low. The break of this support strengthens bearish conditions and confirms a resumption of the downtrend that started February 2021.
