EUR/USD Weekly Outlook

EUR/USD dropped to 1.1289 last week but rebounded strongly from there. The development suggests that corrective pattern from 1.1215 is still extending, with rise from 1.1289 as another leg. Initial bias is now mildly on the upside this week for 1.1569 resistance. On the downside, break of 1.1289 is needed to confirm resumption of fall from 1.1569. Otherwise, risk will stay on the upside in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, as long as 1.1814 resistance holds, down trend down trend from 1.2555 medium term top is still in progress and should target 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 (2017 low) to 1.2555 at 1.1186 next. Sustained break there will pave the way to retest 1.0339. However, break of 1.1814 will confirm completion of such down trend and turn medium term outlook bullish.

In the long term picture, the rejection from 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 to 1.0339 at 1.2516 argues that long term down trend from 1.6039 (2008 high) might not be over yet. EUR/USD is also held below decade long trend line resistance. Firm break of 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186 should at least bring a retest on 1.0339 low. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.1814 resistance holds.
