The Euro has broken falling trend line resistance guiding it lower against the US Dollar since late June, suggesting a correction higher is afoot. From here, a daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1.1083 opens the door for a test of the 50% level at 1.1146.

Breaking below counter-trend support set from the October 1 low looks to be a minimum pre-requisite to reengaging the downtrend. A daily close below that as well as resistance-turned-support at the just-broken trend line sets the stage to challenge the monthly low at 1.0879 once again.

All the same, the dominant trend bias continues to look decidedly bearish. A look at the weekly chart shows prices locked in a well-defined descent for the past 16 months. Invaliding that calls for a break north of that move’s upper boundary, now just a hair below the 1.13 figure.

The monthly chart looks still more ominous. It seems to show the Euro poised to prolong what has been a more than decade-long decline. Prices finished September with a break of the multi-year price inflection barrier at 1.0980. That seems to set the stage for a test of the 1.0459-1.0563 zone in the months ahead.
