Euro vs US Dollar Technical Analysis

The Euro initially tried to rally during the trading session on Friday but gave back gains as we have seen a lot of negativity. At this point, I think we continue to see a lot of noise and therefore you need to be very cautious with how much money you put into the market at any given point in time. Furthermore, you need to keep in mind that the 200-Day EMA sets just underneath and that of course will attract a little bit of technical trading. The 200-Day EMA is quite often used to determine the overall trend, so expect a lot of noise in this general vicinity.

Further exacerbating the potential volatility is the fact that the last swing low was right around this area as well, the 1.05 level. I would expect a lot of noise in that general vicinity, so with that being the case I think you will probably see a lot of back and forth sideway short-term trading. However, if we are to break down below the 1.05 level, that will kick off quite a few sell orders, and could open up a trap door to much lower pricing, perhaps as low as the parity level over the longer term. The recent move has been rather negative, and I do think that it matters from a longer-term standpoint. We had recently fallen apart from the 1.10 level, and those 2 candlesticks in that general vicinity very rarely happen in a vacuum, we have tried to head back up there and then sold off quite drastically, and then now here we are at near support.

Even if we do bounce from here, it’s likely that we will see a “fade the rally” type of market, and therefore I do think it is probably only a matter of time before we see the market breakdown. Whether or not it happens now or later remains to be seen, but keep in mind that those in America when they get the market by themselves, they tend to go “risk on”, as they choose not to believe the Federal Reserve and its monetary policy outlook.
