Euro Price Chart – EUR/USD Weekly

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; EUR/USD on Tradingview

Notes: Euro is up more than 1.2% off fresh yearly lows this week after rebounding just pips ahead of the highlighted trendline confluence near 1.0910 (low registered at 1.0925). The last two tests of this slope as support occurred on November 2017 and August 2018; both instances saw advances of 3.5% or more. That said, we’re looking for evidence that a more significant low is in place as price approaching yearly trend resistance.

Initial topside hurdles stand at the May lows at 1.1106 backed closely by the June trendline- a breach / weekly close above this threshold is needed to suggest a larger recovery is underway targeting the 61.8% retracement at 1.1187. Look for support ahead of 1.1027 with a break below the weekly / September open at 1.0990 needed to put the bears back in control- a break / close below this threshold would risk a drop towards critical support at 1.0814/53.

Bottom line: Euro is poised to mark a massive reversal candle off slope support – IF EUR/USD has indeed turned the corner, look for exhaustion pullbacks to be limited to the monthly open. From a trading standpoint, a good place to raise protective stops / reduce long exposure on a test of 1.11 – we’ll be looking for entries on pullbacks while above 1.0990. Keep in mind market turns can have numerous false starts and we’ll want to see prices stabilize here for this to work- watch the weekly close here. I’ll publish an updated EUR/USD Trade Outlook once we get further clarity in near-term price action.

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests EUR/USD prices may continue to fall. Yet traders are less net-long than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current EUR/USD price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long.
