Price Signal Summary - EURUSD Bear Threat Remains Present

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD maintains a short-term weaker tone. This week’s move lower has resulted in the break of a trendline drawn from the Nov 1 low, signalling scope for a continuation of the corrective cycle. Note that key support at 1.0877, the Jan 5 low, has been pierced. A clear breach would further reinforce bearish conditions and open 1.0793, 50.0% of the Oct - Dec bull leg. Resistance is at 1.0998, Jan 5 high. A break would signal a reversal.

Key resistance and the bull trigger is at 1.2827, the Dec 28 high.
