EUR/USD (1.2496)
- Resistance Levels: 1.2560, 1.2620, 1.2685
- Support Levels: 1.2480, 1.2435, 1.2360
The euro continued its advance versus the dollar today but has found resistance near 1.2560 and failed. Please refer to the above daily MT 4 chart. We need a break and daily close above 1.2560 before we can challenge 1.2620. As expected, this key technical level is proving to be a difficult level to break. A confirmed failure here, will send the euro back lower to challenge 1.2480. A break below this level with daily close opens the doors to test 1.2435.
Let’s discuss some trading strategy. Basically my outlook remains bearish with the EUR/USD. I went short at 1.2709. I have not been impressed, for quite some time now, with the euro and, inline with the weakness, my expectations remain the same. I am now below my initial target of 1.25 and will leave this short position open for more downside momentum. My stop loss stays at 1.25.
