The EUR/USD pair rallied significantly during the trading session on Thursday, slamming into the 1.25 handle. It looks as if we are trying to break above this area, but obviously it has a certain amount of psychological importance attached to it.

The EUR/USD pair rallied significantly during the day on Thursday, slamming into the 1.25 handle above, and then slicing through it again. I think that the market is going to continue to go to the upside, you should look at pullbacks as potential value in what I think is ending up being a very strong move. The 1.240 below should be the “floor” in the market, so keep that in mind. Longer-term, I think that we could reach towards the 1.26 level, and then eventually the 1.30 level after that. When I look at the longer-term charts, there is a bullish flag that we had recently broken out of, and that suggests that we are going to go to the 1.32 handle eventually. Obviously, that’s a longer-term call but I think that is probably reached sometime this year. I look at pullbacks as value that should be taken advantage of, and I have no interest in trying to sell this pair, as recent US government comments have suggested that a weaker US dollar helps.

There is plenty of volatility to be found, but those moments should be looked at as the opportunity to take advantage of what has been such a strong trend. I recognize that we are overextended, but that’s the nature of markets these days, overreacting. I would not only be going long of this market, but I would be adding every time it dips, if we can stay above the 1.24 handle below, as it should be important.
