Talking Points:
- EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Short at 1.2710
- Support: 1.2213, 1.1974, 1.1781
- Resistance:1.2360, 1.2467, 1.2599
The Euro moved lower against the US Dollar as expected after putting in a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion at 1.2213 exposes the 38.2% level at 1.1974. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib at 1.2360 opens the door for a challenge of falling trend line resistance at 1.2467.
We sold EURUSD at 1.2710 in line with our long-term fundamental outlook subsequently booked profit on half of the position. The remainder of the trade is open to capture any further downside momentum with a stop-loss trailed to breakeven (1.2710).
