Tuesday 3rd November: Technical Outlook Ahead of the US Elections
Cable opened on the backfoot Monday, pressured amidst a second lockdown across England.

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.

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).
