- EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
- Bullish Engulfing Pattern Fails To Find Confirmation
- Break Of Nearby Support To Open 1.3100 Target
The Euro is set for a make-or-break moment on a test of the recent lows near 1.3320 with bullish reversal signals absent. Given the proximity to nearby buying support at 1.3320 new shorts may be better served on a downside break. This would set the stage for a push to the September 2013 lows near 1.3100.
