EUR/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3971; (P) 1.4062; (R1) 1.4122; More

EUR/USD continues to stay in tight range of 1.3982 and 1.4151 today and intraday outlook remains neutral for the moment. Momentum of the rise from 1.3747 was unconvincing and the structure looks corrective3 too. A break below 1.3982 minor support will suggest that such recovery has completed and will flip intraday bias back to the downside. Further break of 1.3826 support will indicate that fall from 1.4337 is likely resuming for trend line support (now at 1.3489). On the upside, though, above 1.4151 will indicate that rise from 1.3747 is still in progress for 1.4337 or above.

In the bigger picture, rise from 1.2456 is treated as the third leg of medium term triangle consolidation from 1.2329 (first leg completed at 1.4719, second at 1.2456). It's possible that such rise has completed at 1.4337 already. Break of 1.3747 will add more credence to this case and firm break of channel support (now at 1.3489) will confirm and bring deeper fall to 1.2456/2884 support zone. Though, in such case, as we're favoring that it's developing into triangle consolidation, downside should be contained by 1.2456/2884 support zone and bring one more rise to complete the consolidation.

On the upside, above 1.4171 will delay the bearish case and indicate that rise from 1.2456 is still in progress. Nevertheless, as this rise is still treated as part of the medium term consolidation, it should be limited by 1.4719/4867 resistance zone. Hence, upside potential should be limited and focus will still be on reversal signal in case of another rise.
