EUR/USD Analysis

Last Thursday saw a continuation of the move down with a break of the bullish channel’s lower trend line that has held since early February. Friday then saw a small pull back to the broken trend line, which has flipped and held to the other side. These are bearish signs, and additionally there have been two levels above us which have flipped from support to resistance, at 1.3844 and 1.3808 respectively.

In spite of the bearish picture, there is a still an intact bullish trend line below us that has held for 6 months. It is quite confluent today with key support levels at 1.3715 and 1.3695 so we are likely to find some support if we move down to that zone soon.

A candlestick analysis of the higher time frames shows the daily and weekly charts looking very bearish, but the monthly is still showing bullishness.

It looks like it will be difficult for the price to make any sustained upwards move right now as we have a confluence of two trend lines just above us as well as a resistance level at 1.3808, however at the time of writing this is too close a level at which to look for a short trade.
