EURUSD: Upswing Deepens, Still Looks Corrective

By Ilya Spivak, Currency Strategist

Strategy: Short at 1.2661, Targeting 1.2130

Weekly Profit / Loss: -110 pips

Total Profit / Loss: -159 pips

We sold EURUSD at 1.2661. An upswing has taken the pair through resistance at 1.2764, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 8/6-8/24 downswing, with prices now stalling just ahead of the 38.2% level at 1.2873. At this point, recent gains continue to appear corrective and we will remain short, looking for bearish momentum to resume and take prices toward our initial target at 1.2130. A stop-loss will be activated on a daily close above 1.2925.
