Market Overview: EURUSD Forex
The market formed a weekly EURUSD wedge bull flag (Feb 14, Apr 16, and Jun 26). The bulls need to create follow-through buying next week (even if it is only a bull doji). The bears see the current move simply as a pullback forming a lower high and want another leg down to retest the recent leg low (Jun 26).
EURUSD Forex market
The Weekly EURUSD chart
- This week’s candlestick on the weekly EURUSD Forex chart was a bull bar closing near its high and above the 20-week EMA.
- Last week, we said that traders would see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar testing the 20-week EMA or if the bears can create a breakout below the triangle. The EURUSD is trading near the lower third of the smaller trading range which can be the buy zone of trading range traders.
- The bears see the move up to June 4 simply as a deep pullback and got a retest of the April 16 low forming a higher low.
- They got a reversal from a wedge bear flag (Apr 26, May 3, and May 16), a double top bear flag (Apr 9 and May 16) and a small double top (May 16 and Jun 4).
- They see the current move simply as a pullback forming a lower high and want another leg down to retest the recent leg low (Jun 26).
- The bears need to create a strong breakout below the triangle with follow-through selling to increase the odds of retesting October 2023 low. So far, they have not yet been able to do so.
- If the market trades higher, the bears want the 20-week EMA or the bear trend line to act as resistance.
- The bulls want the bull trend line to act as support. So far this is the case.
- They got a reversal from a higher low major trend reversal and a wedge bull flag (Feb 14, Apr 16, and Jun 26).
- They need to create consecutive bull bars closing above the 20-week EMA to show that they are back in control.
- That means they need to create follow-through buying next week (even if it is only a bull doji).
- They need to create a breakout above the triangle with follow-through buying to increase the odds of a retest of the trading range high (Dec 28).
- Since this week is a bull bar closing near its high, it is a buy signal bar for next week.
- Odds slightly favor the market to trade at least a little higher.
- Traders will see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar trading the 20-week EMA or will the market trade slightly higher but stall and close with a long tail above or a bear body.
- The EURUSD is trading around the middle of the trading range which is an area of balance.
- The EURUSD is in an 85-week trading range. (Trading range high: July 2023, Trading range low: Oct 2023).
- Poor follow-through and reversals are hallmarks of a trading range.
- Traders will continue to BLSH (Buy Low, Sell High) within a trading range until there is a breakout with follow-through selling/buying.
The Daily EURUSD chart
- The EURUSD traded sideways to up for the week with consecutive bull bars trading above the 20-day EMA.
