Monday 2nd November: Weekly Technical Outlook and Review Heading into The US Elections
Europe’s single currency subsided nearly 2% against a broadly stronger US dollar last week, side-lining hopes of reaching the 2018 yearly opening value at 1.2004. In the shape of a near-full-bodied bearish candle, price dramatically engulfed previous gains and closed within striking distance of support at 1.1621.
Friday 30th October: Technical Outlook and Review
Europe’s shared currency, fuelled on surging COVID-19 cases as well as a downbeat evaluation of the Eurozone economic outlook from President Lagarde, extended losses against a broadly stronger buck on Thursday.
Thursday 29th October: Technical Outlook and Review
Risk aversion dominated market movement in recent trading, despite the safe-haven buck trading off best levels. EUR/USD sailed through the 1.18 level on the H4 timeframe, with enough force to take on August’s opening value at 1.1771 and test October’s opening value from 1.1730.
Wednesday 28th October: Technical Outlook and Review
Weighed by broad USD softness and US Treasury yields connecting with weekly lows, USD/JPY extended Monday’s 105 test on Tuesday, and consequently saw price cross swords with a familiar H4 Fibonacci support zone (161.8% Fibonacci projection point at 104.37 and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement ratio at 104.45).

Monday 26th October: Weekly Technical Outlook and Review
Since unseating trend line resistance (mid-July), taken from the high 1.2555, EUR/USD has mostly outlined an upside bias. Buyers, however, as you can see, reduced speed after shaking hands with the 2018 yearly opening value at 1.2004 late August, enough to force a 1.1621 support retest (clearly interpreted by many as a dip-buying signal).
Friday 23rd October: Technical Outlook and Review
Amidst a moderate upturn in the US dollar index, snapping a four-day bearish phase, EUR/USD twisted lower Thursday and left H4 Quasimodo resistance at 1.1888 unchallenged (sited close by the 1.19 handle, along with an AB=CD correction point at 1.1905 [red arrows] and a 1.618 BC projection plotted at 1.1919).
Thursday 22nd October: Technical Outlook and Review
Europe’s single currency extended its bullish position against a broadly softer USD Wednesday (DXY crossed below 93.00). Technicians, according to the weekly timeframe, will acknowledge room to advance, as bulls strengthen their position north of minor support at 1.1621. The next upside target on the weekly scale falls in around the 2018 yearly opening value at 1.2004 (a level that capped upside attempts in late August).
Wednesday 21st October: Technical Outlook and Review
As the DXY toys with breaking 94.00 support, down 0.4% on Tuesday, EUR/USD, following a retest at August’s opening value at 1.1771, destroyed a number of key resistances on the H4 timeframe.
