Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) stuck below $1.14 The EUR/USD pair has continued to rally from the low of last week, but a breakout above $1.14 still eludes it. From there $1.145 and $1.15 would come into play as possible resistance. So far this morning a rally towards $1.14 has run out of steam, so we may see fresh […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) turning lower from Fibonacci resistance EUR/USD has managed to rally into the 76.4% retracement this morning, following on from a wider downturn from the 61.8% resistance at $1.1394.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) given a boost by falling US dollar The weakening of the US dollar has prompted a sharp rebound in EUR/USD, and the price is now testing the area above the Monday high of $1.138.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) continues to break lower EUR/USD has been ramping up the selling in the wake of the reversal from trendline resistance.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) back down as dollar recovers The sellers have reasserted their control over the last few days, with the EUR/USD’s rally towards $1.15 providing a selling opportunity.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) uptrend intact for now The price for EUR/USD has recovered from the steep losses seen on Tuesday, leaving the uptrend from the November lows intact. Further gains above $1.1420 would target $1.1460, and then on to $1.1554. A move back below $1.1360 would invalidate the bullish view and give the sellers the upper hand. […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) turns lower from trendline resistance EUR/USD has been selling off from trendline resistance this week, with a particularly deep rally coming close to the bullish breakout threshold of $1.15.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) rallies into deep retracement level EUR/USD has been regaining ground, with the pair moving into the crucial 76.4% retracement at $1.1433.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) still stuck in downtrend EUR/USD has rallied off the lows but remains in a broader downtrend from the highs of September.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) rebound unlikely to last EUR/USD has been gaining ground following last week’s sell-off, with the selling pressure easing somewhat.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) bounce falters EUR/USD has plumbed to a new low, continuing its extended downtrend and heading towards possible support at $1.111. A rally will target $1.13, previous key support, while above this the November high at $1.15 comes into play. Having rallied from oversold intraday conditions, it will be important to watch the $1.126 […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) could weaken further to the next support at 1.1220 There is not much to add to last Friday’s (09 Nov, spot at 1.1365) update. As highlighted, the sharp and rapid drop from last Wednesday (07 Nov) peak of 1.1500 indicates there is scope for EUR to retest the major 1.1300 support. The […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) could give way to next target at 1.1205 The EUR/USD pair keeps knocking at the door of the circa 1.1300 hard floor, and the risks are building that it could finally break below it in the week ahead. The pair touched and bounced off the floor in October and after recovering to […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) rallies through resistance The EUR/USD pair mounted an impressive bounce above trendline resistance, and while it then retraced to the line, it posted a classic bounce. Dip buyers came in around $1.14, suggesting that we have seen a bullish move develop. Further gains target $1.15 and then $1.1554. Higher lows have been put in […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) pushing upwards amid dollar weakness EUR/USD has been pushing higher, in a continuation of the strength seen throughout November thus far. With the price rising through the 50% retracement, there is a strong chance we will see the pair continue to gain ground over the near term. A break through the $1.1622 mark […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) sees upward momentum falter The price of EUR/USD has rallied from the lows of last week, but has failed to push higher. As a result, we may see bearish momentum develop without a close above $1.1450. Further declines target the $1.13 level of support, which held in August and October. Below this the $1.1118 […]

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) pulling back after recent bullish break EUR/USD has been moving lower since Friday morning, coming off the back of a trendline breakout. The fact that we saw a move that barely even reached the 50% level points towards the possibility of further upside. With that in mind, the current pullback looks like a […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) promising signs of major breakthroughs regarding Brexit Looking beyond the trials and tribulations of financial markets in the United States, promising signs of major breakthroughs regarding Brexit and the US-China war have emerged. News reports over the weekend have warmed the idea that a Brexit deal could be negotiated, by some time […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) downtrend intact Short-term support for EUR/USD has been found around $1.13, coinciding with a decent bounce from intraday oversold conditions. However, for the moment this merely looks like a lower high within the current downtrend. A turn lower from below $1.1146 would mark another potential selling opportunity, and would see the $1.13 area tested […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) attempts to stabilise after recent decline EUR/USD failed to break below the $1.1335 support level overnight, with the price rallying into trendline resistance. The declines seen over the past fortnight are likely to be retraced before long, and many will question whether this is the beginning of such a move. However, we would […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) still unable to push higher EUR/USD continues to hold above $1.1350, although the downward move from mid-October remains intact. A push above $1.1430 would clear recent intraday resistance and suggest another attempt to break the downtrend line from the September highs. Further support is found at $1.13. Overall, the bias in prices is: […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) wedge break points towards potential upside EUR/USD has managed to rally through trendline resistance, completing a bullish breakout from the falling wedge formation in play over the past week. This points towards a potential bullish phase coming into play this week. However, it makes sense to watch out for a rally through $1.1432 […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) forming a base above the 12.13 level The Euro extended losses last week as a host of factors pushed it lower but the market now looks to have begun carving out a base close to its one-year lows in the 1.13 area. Italy’s budget row with the EU commission and another surprise […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) room for EUR to weaken further to 1.1350 We highlighted yesterday “time appears to be running out for further weakness” and the subsequent swift and sharp plunge in EUR came as a surprise, albeit a pleasant one.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Eurozone PMI’s pointed to a slowing growth momentum The euro to dollar exchange rate plunged on Wednesday after the latest Eurozone PMI’s pointed to a slowing growth momentum.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) back to support zone EUR/USD has fallen back towards a zone of support, around $1.1440. A close below this is required to open the way to the $1.13 lows from August. We have seen a lower high created in mid-October, so a sustained rebound requires a move above $1.1550 to challenge $1.16. Overall, […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) trade sideways to stay near the 1.1500 level EUR/USD has steadied on Monday, after posting considerable gains in the Friday session. Currently, the pair is trading at 1.1499, down 0.13% on the day. The sole event is the German Bundesbank monthly report. On Tuesday, Germany releases PPI and eurozone consumer confidence. There […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) on the back foot EUR/USD has dropped back rapidly over the week, and last week’s low at $1.1432 is now likely to be tested. A close below this opens the way to $1.13, the August low. A close above $1.16 is needed to suggest that a more bullish view prevails. Overall, the bias […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) weakness points towards potential further breakdown EUR/USD managed to break lower from its consolidation yesterday, coming off the back of a rally into the 50% retracement and 200-day simple moving average (SMA). However, given the mixed signals seen in a wider context (higher highs and lower lows), we need to see a break […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) consolidates after recent rebound EUR/USD has been pushing higher off the back of a two-week period of losses. We are now seemingly in a period of consolidation, where a break through support ($1.1544) or resistance ($1.1609) would signal where we go from here. A break to the downside would look like a potential […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) recovers in early trade Overnight weakness for EUR/USD seems to have given buyers another opportunity, but they will need to push the price above $1.16 to clear the way to further upside. Above here, $1.18 comes into view. A close below $1.15 is needed to suggest a bearish turn. Overall, the bias in prices […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) pullback unlikely to last Friday saw EUR/USD attempt to reverse some of its recent gains, with the break through $1.1549 and $1.1594 providing a bullish reversal signal. We do not know the size of this current retracement, yet unless we reverse the whole of last week’s rally and break below $1.1432, then this current […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) continues to gain A steady push higher continues for EUR/USD, with some early weakness this morning a possible buying opportunity. Further gains above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $1.1586 would indicate a move towards $1.17 and then key resistance around $1.18. A close below $1.15 reinvigorates the bearish case. Overall, the […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) moves higher from base around $1.15 EUR/USD is moving higher after several days of sideways movement around $1.15. Further gains will target $1.18, the highs of late September. Over the past few days, short-term dips intraday have found buyers, and a move back below the $1.15 level would suggest the rally has ended. […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) rally looks set to falter again EUR/USD has been regaining ground overnight, with the pair moving into trendline resistance. The ability to break above $1.1550 will be key in reversing this short-term trend. As such, a bearish outlook remains unless that swing high is broken. Overall, the bias in prices is: Sideways. By […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) bears back in charge EUR/USD’s brief rebound of last week appears to have run its course, with the price back at the $1.1465 area that has held as support since last Wednesday. Below this the pair will head towards $1.1296, retracing the entirety of the move from the August lows. So long as […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) retracement phase to continue EUR/USD has been gaining ground since the Thursday low, with a rising wedge pattern coming into play. This provides greater confidence that the pair is simply retracing the downturn from $1.1593. As such, while it looks probable we’ll see further upside if trendline support is respected, any such gains […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Breakdown Set to Continue EUR/USD Technical Highlights: Breach of support last week keeps focus lower Firm recapture of support needed to negate bearish bias Trend-line from Dec ’16 and August low could be targeted next week For the intermediate-term fundamental and technical outlook, check out the The euro broke big support just […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) loses key support zone The drop below $1.15 sends a bearish signal for EUR/USD, indicating that we may well see fresh declines. A rebound towards $1.16 is possible, but any rally that fails to move above yesterday’s swing high is likely another selling opportunity. Further declines target $1.13. Overall, the bias in prices […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) holds critical support EUR/USD remains at the crucial area of support around $1.1554, which held back in late August. While it dipped below this yesterday, the rebound saw it finish around the same level. A rally targets $1.18, where gains faltered in July and in September. A close below $1.1554 is needed to […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) falls into key support EUR/USD has been continuing its decline, with the pair falling into the crucial $1.1526 support level. The ability to break below here is going to be key in determining our direction for the day. As such, watch for an hourly close below this level for a bearish outlook. […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) holds up amid recent downturn EUR/USD has been selling off sharply throughout the latter part of the past week, with the pair moving towards the crucial $1.1526 support level. The wider trend points towards a recent inverse head and shoulders formation in play, but should this fall see the pair drop below $1.1526 […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) could move lower The Italian budget aside, since EU inspired political wobbles do tend to have a very short half-life effect on Euro sentiment, higher US interest rate expectation amidst the backdrop of divergence between the Fed and the ECB, even more so after the tepid Eurozone inflation print on Friday, will […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) in the red on account of the firmer US dollar EUR/USD is in the red on account of the firmer US dollar.

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) looks set for further gains EUR/USD has been consolidating over the past five days, with the price falling back towards trendline support. The uptrend remains intact, with the price continuing to respect the $1.1790 resistance zone. With that in mind, it makes sense to watch out for the pair to push through this […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) struggles to clear $1.18 EUR/USD’s price rallied to $1.18 yesterday, but then dropped back. A close above this level continues to elude the pair, but it remains in an uptrend from the August lows. The near-term bullish view persists unless we see a close below rising trendline support, around $1.1660. Overall, the […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) rallying from horizontal support EUR/USD has started to gain ground from the $1.1724 support level, which represents the highs from the beginning of last week. With a clear uptrend in play over recent weeks, the weakness we have seen since Friday’s peak of $1.1803 is likely to start fading. As such, while further […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) rallies into crucial resistance zone EUR/USD has rallied through the $1.1746 resistance level, with the pair shifting into the next major level at $1.1790. The ability to break through this level is going to be key in determining where we go from here. With the pair relatively overextended, there is a good chance […]

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) launching assault on key resistance zone EUR/USD is turning higher yet again this morning, with the pair looking likely to challenge the $1.1718-$1.1746 resistance zone once more. The ability to break through that resistance zone is key in determining whether we are set for a wider period of gains. As such, watch for […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) tries to break $1.17 again EUR/USD is making another attempt to move above the $1.17 area that has blocked progress since the second half of August. Above this, the $1.18 area and then $1.1852 come into view. Rising trendline support appears around $1.1630, and further weakness requires a close below $1.1523. Overall, the […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) stuck below $1.17 We have seen EUR/USD gain steadily over the past few days, but a move above $1.17 still eludes it. Above here, the $1.18 area and $1.1852 zones are areas of resistance. A move back below $1.16 hands the initiative to the sellers, although $1.1550 still remains a significant area of support. […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) attempting to establish direction around key resistance EUR/USD sold off sharply from the $1.1720 region on Friday, with the pair shifting away from a crucial area of resistance. The ability to break through the $1.1746-$1.1790 resistance zone is key in determining whether we are set for a bullish breakout or not. With the […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Poised For Further Gains The EUR/USD exchange rate has made strong gains over recent weeks aided by a tightening in monetary policy in the region. The European Central Bank (ECB) went ahead and cut monetary stimulus in half last week which aided the uptrend while confirming they are on track to deliver an interest rate rise […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) consolidates around trendline resistance EUR/USD has rallied back into the four-hour simple moving average (SMA) resistance overnight, with the pair remaining stuck between the descending trendline resistance and SMA support. That trendline (dating back to June) is back in play now, and we would need to see a break through $1.1659 to signal […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) held up at SMA support EUR/USD has been turning lower from trendline support over the past 24 hours, with the pair seeking to continue the pullback following the late-August rebound. This move lower is likely to continue, yet with the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) on the four-hour chart below, we have a […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) surges in early trade Renewed euro strength early on this morning suggests we may see another attempt by EUR/USD to break the $1.1660 area that stifled upward progress last week. If this is broken then the August high at $1.1740 comes into view. The cautiously bullish view would be negated by a move back […]
Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) testing $1.15 again Friday’s jobs data knocked EUR/USD back to the $1.15 support level, with a further test of this level this morning. Fresh declines would target the $1.13 level. A move above $1.1660 is needed to suggest a broader move higher is underway, and even then it needs to clear $1.18, which has […]
