Looking at the daily chart, we noticed that at the start of last week, EUR/USD opened with a runaway gap to the upside highlighting unfinished uptrend move. On Wednesday, the market declined to current trading zone 1.1087 – 1.1300. Later on, the price have failed twice to fall further, signaling a possible bull’s comeback.
Hence, a close above the high end of the zone could push EURUSD towards 1.1640. Further close above that level may send the pair even higher towards 1.1876. In that scenario, special attention should be paid to the daily and weekly resistance levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) as some traders may exit/join the market around these points.
In turn, any close below the low end reflects bull’s reluctance. This might lead some of them to exit the market allowing the price tow fall eyeing a test of 1.0912. Further close below this level could mean more bearishness towards1.0825. Nevertheless, the weekly support levels printed on the chart should be considered.
