Market Overview: EURUSD Forex
The EURUSD Forex bulls triggered the H2 buy signal on the weekly chart. Next week, the bulls need to create a follow-through bull bar to increase the odds of higher prices. Bears hope that the current pullback is simply forming a double top bear flag with October 4 high. The bear trend line and 20-week exponential moving average are resistances above.
EURUSD Forex market
The Weekly EURUSD chart
- This week’s candlestick on the weekly EURUSD Forex chart was a bull bar closing near the high.
- Last week, we said that the EURUSD is forming a small trading range between 0.95 and 1.00.
- The bears want a strong breakout below the 2017 low, and a measured move down based on the height of the 7-year trading range. This will take them to the year 2000 low.
- The move down is in a tight bear channel. That means strong bears.
- The bear trend has also lasted a long time and is climactic.
- While the breakout below the July-August low in September was strong, the bears failed to get follow-through selling.
- The bears hope the last few weeks were simply a pullback and want at least a retest of Sept low.
- If next week trades higher, they want the EURUSD to stall and reverse lower again, forming a double top bear flag with October 4 high or around the bear trend line.
- The bulls hope that the recent 10-week trading range (July to Sept) is the final flag of the move.
- They want a reversal higher from a wedge bottom (May 13, July 14 and Sept 28) and a trend channel line overshoot.
- The bulls will need to create strong consecutive bull bars closing near their highs, breaking far above the bear trend line and 20-week exponential moving average, to convince traders that a larger sideways to up pullback may be underway.
- The bulls triggered the second entry long (High 2) this week’s high and got a strong entry bar closing near its high.
- The bulls kept failing to get sustained follow-through buying, a recurring theme since the selloff started in 2021.
- Will they be able to get follow-through buying next week by closing as a strong consecutive bull bar? If they do, it could signal a potential change in the character of the market.
- Since this week was a bull bar closing near the high, it is a good buy signal bar for next week.
- Odds slightly favor the EURUSD to trade at least slightly above this week’s high.
- The EURUSD is in a small trading range between 0.95 and 1.00. A trading range means an area of balance between the bulls and the bears.
- Traders will BLSH (Buy Low, Sell High) until there is a breakout from either direction.
- The 20-week exponential moving average and bear trend line remains resistances above.
The Daily EURUSD chart
- The EURUSD traded sideways to up for the week closing above the 20-day exponential moving average on Friday.
- Last week, we said that the EURUSD is forming a trading range between 0.95 – 1.00 and traders will BLSH (Buy Low, Sell High) within this range until there is a strong breakout from either direction.
- The bulls want a failed breakout below the 7-year trading range.
- They hope that the recent 10-week trading range pullback (July to Sept) is the final flag of the move down which started in February.
- The bulls want a reversal higher from a wedge bottom (May 13, July 14 and Sept 28) and trend channel line overshoot following a sell climax.
- However, they have not been able to create sustained follow-through buying, a recurring theme since 2021.
- The bulls see the current pullback (October 13) simply as a retest of the September low and want a reversal higher from a higher low major trend reversal.
- The bulls will need to create strong consecutive bull bars closing near their highs, breaking far above the 20-day exponential moving average and bear trend line, to convince traders that a larger 2-legged sideways to up pullback lasting many weeks may be underway.
- At the very least, they want a small second leg sideways to up retesting of October 4 high.
- The bears want a continuation down and a measured move down based on the height of the 7-year trading range. That would take them to the year 2000 low.
- The bears want another leg lower retesting the Sept low followed by a strong breakout with follow-through selling.
- However, this week, they failed to create follow-through selling.
- They hope that the current move is simply a pullback and want reversal lower from a double top bear flag (with October 4 high) to re-test the Sept low.
- Since Friday was a bull bar closing near the high, it is a buy signal bar for Monday.
- Odds favor the EURUSD to trade at least slightly higher next week.
- The EURUSD is forming a trading range between 0.95 and 1.00.
- Traders will BLSH (Buy Low, Sell High) within this range until there is a strong breakout from either direction.
- The bear trend line remains as resistance above.
