EUR/USD Bulls Poised To Go Higher

Published 07/05/2018, 07:58 AM
Updated 07/09/2023, 06:31 AM

The euro climbed on Thursday’s following strong German data, though gains were capped before the release of Fed minutes later in the day.

Media reports that the European Central Bank may be preparing to raise interest rates by next September or October also helped the euro, though thin volumes were a factor, with U.S. markets shut overnight for Independence Day.


We’ve made some reshuffles in our trades.

This is how we trade now:


EUR/USD

Open: 1.1700
Target: 1.1830
Stop-loss: 1.1635 (lowered from 1.1810)
Recommended size: 2.50 mini lots per $10,000 in your account
Short analysis: We've closed our EUR/USD short and switched to long position at 1.1695. EUR/USD bulls seem poised to go higher, scope is growing for gains towards at key 1.1755 Fibonacci level, 23.6% retrace of the 1.2555 to 1.1508 2018 fall. Fourteen-day momentum has turned positive, reinforcing the overall upside bias.

Short analysis: USD/JPY will likely remain capped by the 30-day upper bollinger-band, which is currently at 111.13. Overall scope is for an eventual breakdown below the 200-day MA now at 110.16 and the 30-day MA now at 110.02.
