EURUSD Forex market
The Weekly EURUSD chart
- This week’s candlestick on the weekly EURUSD Forex chart was a bear bar closing near its low.
- Last week, we said that the pullback phase may have begun and the bears will need to create strong follow-through selling to increase the odds of lower prices.
- This week was a follow-through bear bar. It was the first pair of consecutive bear bars since September 2022.
- The bears want a 2-legged sideways-to-down pullback lasting at least a few weeks.
- They got a reversal lower from a lower high and a wedge top (Nov 15, Dec 5 and Feb 2).
- The wedge pattern and loss of momentum (smaller bull bodies) increase the odds that we will see at least a small pullback which has begun last week.
- The first targets for the bears are the 20-week exponential moving average and the January 6 low.
- The bulls got a strong spike and channel up from September 2022 and the market may have flipped into Always In Long.
- The strong move up increases the odds of at least a small second leg sideways to up after a deeper pullback.
- The bulls want any pullback to be sideways and not deep. If the pullback is weak and sideways, the odds of another strong leg-up increase.
- They want weak bear bars with long tails below and dojis within the pullback phase.
- Since this week was a bear bar closing near the low, it is a weak buy signal bar for next week. It is a good sell signal bar.
- The odds slightly favor the EURUSD to trade at least a little lower.
- Traders will see if the bears can get strong follow-through selling reaching the 20-week exponential moving average, or if the candlesticks for the next couple of weeks are overlapping and weak bear bars.
The Daily EURUSD chart
- The EURUSD traded sideways to down for the week, with a small pullback on Thursday and Friday closing near the low of the week.
- Previously, we said that the rally was climactic and lasted a long time. The wedge pattern, micro wedge and micro double top increase the odds of at least a small pullback which can begin at any moment.
- The pullback phase has begun.
- The bears see the move up since September as a 50% pullback of the selloff which started in May 2021.
- They got a reversal lower from a wedge top (Nov 15, Dec 15, and Feb 2) and a micro wedge (Jan 13, Jan 26 and Feb 2).
- They see Thursday as a small pullback and want at least another leg down.
- The next target for the bears is the January 6 low.
- The bears need to create strong consecutive bear bars closing near their lows to increase the odds of lower prices.
- The spike & tight channel up since October means strong bulls.
- The odds slightly favor the market has flipped into Always In Long.
- The bulls want any pullback to be sideways and not deep.
- If there is a deep pullback, the bulls want a reversal from a higher low major trend reversal and a larger second leg sideways to up.
- If the EURUSD trades slightly lower, they want a reversal up from a double bottom bull flag with January 6 low.
- Odds slightly favor the EURUSD to still be in the sideways to down pullback phase to work off the overbought condition.
- Traders will see if the bears can create strong consecutive bear bars or if the candlesticks are overlapping with weak bear bars and dojis.
