EUR/USD Forex Signal - 15 June 2017

Yesterday’s signals produced a profitable short trade following the bearish inside candle rejecting the resistance level at 1.1295. This could be the start of a long-term bearish movement, but the price has reached an area would it may find support, so it could make sense to take partial profits.

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

The supportive trend line held throughout the session yesterday, with the price rising strongly following poorer than expected U.S. economic data, topping at the multi-month high of 1.1295, before falling sharply upon the FOMC release and interest rate hike. The level at 1.1295, as it is a multi-month inflective high, is significant, and the rejection there may signify the beginning of a bearish trend, although the price is still technically within a bullish trend. It is important now to watch whether the price holds up above the supportive trend lines and 1.1163, as a fast break below these could trigger a sharp fall. Alternatively, if they hold we are more likely to see the price test 1.1295 again soon. The price is in a long-term pivotal area
