My previous EUR/USD signal on 21st November was not triggered, as none of the key support and resistance levels I had identified were reached that day.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
In my previous analysis of the EUR/USD currency pair last Monday, I thought that we had a weakly bearish environment now, but I believed that the two support levels nearby were quite likely to hold up the price, at least over the day.
I was correct about that as the support levels were never even reached, and the price had no real direction or volatility over the day.
The price went on to rise strongly over the rest of this week however, making a near-parabolic rise which can be seen if you zoom out on an hourly price chart, as is shown below. The Euro has been quite strong as US Dollar weakness has continued, although it is not as strong as some other currencies such as the British Pound and the New Zealand Dollar.
There have been signs over recent hours that the rise is beginning to run out of steam, although this may be mostly because all the major economic data releases this week have already taken place, with a public holiday today in the USA and a light agenda elsewhere. So, I think the price action is likely to be relatively flat today.
The support level at $1.0406, especially because it is confluent with the round number at $1.0400, looks attractive and likely to hold at a first touch, so it could be an attractive area for scalpers at least. It would be logical for this to be today’s pivotal point.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the EUR or the USD. It is a public holiday today in the USA.
