Euro/Dollar—Taking Profits So What is Next?

EUR/USD (1.2450)

Daily MT 4 Chart
Daily MT 4 Chart
  • Resistance Levels: 1.2500, 1.2660, 1.2910
  • Support Levels: 1.24, 1.2250, 1.2141

My love affair being short on the euro has ended, for now. The EUR/USD broker higher. Please see the above MT 4 daily chart and notice the falling wedge formation, which has been completed with the formation of a solid bullish reversal pattern. I am talking about the morning star candlestick, then the subsequent move higher.

Near term resistance is lining up at the key 1.25 handle. A break above this level, with a daily close, will then challenge 1.2660. Should the euro reverse course again, then we need a break below the wedge top at 1.24. This is also a former resistance level and another key technical level. If this happens then the EUR/USD will challenge 1.2250 and lower.

My initial trading strategy did very well as I sold the short position at 1.2712. The fundamental outlook supported my patience, along with midterm bearish chart patterns. This is why I combine technical and fundamental analysis. My strategy, for now, is to stand aside. I prefer to wait for another strong opportunity to present itself before jumping back into this market.
