Talking Points:
- EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Short at 1.1148
- Support: 1.0982, 1.0793, 1.0487
- Resistance:1.1271, 1.1517, 1.1766
The euro put in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern, hinting a move lower against the US dollar may be in the cards. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 1.0982 exposes the 23.6% level at 1.0793. Alternatively, a push above the 38.2% Fib retracement at 1.1271 opens the door for a challenge of the 50% threshold at 1.1519.
We entered short EURUSD at 1.1148 in line with our long-term outlook, initially targeting 1.0982. A stop-loss will be triggered on a daily close above 1.1289. We will book half of the trade and move the stop-loss to breakeven when the first target is hit.
