The US Dollar has pulled back sharply across the board, but further Dollar losses may be limited if it can hold key near-term support levels versus the Euro and Yen.

The Euro has held key volume-based support at the $1.08 mark, and a continued bounce leaves support-turned-resistance at $1.10 as the next near-term target. A break above $1.10 would shift focus towards substantial volume congestion starting near $1.1250.

The British Pound continues to hold below key volume-based resistance at $1.5650, and near-term focus remains on comparable levels near $1.54. A break above $1.5650 would leave little in the way of resistance until the year-to-date high above $1.59, but risks remain towards near-term weakness.

The US Dollar continues to trade above notable congestion starting at the ¥123.50 mark against the Yen, and a hold above leaves near-term targets at major highs near ¥125.50 mark. Yet a break below ¥123.50 would shift focus to comparable congestion levels starting at ¥121.50.

The Australian Dollar has traded back above former lows at the $0.7400 mark, and a continued bounce would make the next short-term target key resistance starting at $0.7600. A failure here would instead make downside targets to congestion levels from 2008 near $0.7250.

The Sterling has broken below recent lows at ¥193 versus the Yen, and the next major support level isn’t until notable volume and price congestion near ¥191.50.

The US Dollar has traded above important volume-based resistance of SFr0.9500 versus the Swiss Franc, and but the USD/CHF has stopped and reversed at significant volume-based resistance at SFr0.9650. Former resistance now turns into support at 0.95.

The US Dollar continues to trade near substantial highs versus the Canadian Dollar, and a recent build in volume and price-based congestion leaves C$1.2900-1.2950 as near-term support. Yet a break below would leave little in the way of a move towards considerable congestion starting at C$1.2750.

EURUSD Weekly Technical Analysis: New Month, More Weakness

Published

on

By

What’s inside:

  • EURUSD broke the ‘neckline’ of a bearish ‘head-and-shoulders’ pattern, April trend-line
  • Resistance in vicinity of 11825/80 likely to keep a lid on further strength
  • Targeting the low to mid-11600s with more selling

Confidence is essential to successful trading, see this new guide – ’Building Confidence in Trading’.

Coming into last week we pointed out the likelihood of finally seeing a resolution of the range EURUSD had been stuck in for the past few weeks, and one of the outcomes we made note of as a possibility was for the triggering of a ’head-and-shoulders’ pattern. Indeed, we saw a break of the ’neckline’ along with a drop below the April trend-line. This led to decent selling before a minor bounce took shape during the latter part of last week.

Looking ahead to next week the euro is set up for further losses as the path of least resistance has turned lower. Looking to a capper on any further strength there is resistance in the 11825-11880 area (old support becomes new resistance). As long as the euro stays below this area a downward bias will remain firmly intact.

Looking lower towards support eyes will be on the August low at 11662 and the 2016 high of 11616, of which the latter just happens to align almost precisely with the measured move target of the ‘head-and-shoulders’ pattern (determined by subtracting the height of the pattern from the neckline).

Bottom line: Shorts look set to have the upperhand as a fresh month gets underway as long as the euro remains capped by resistance. On weakness, we’ll be watching how the euro responds to a drop into support levels.

For a longer-term outlook on EURUSD, check out the just released Q4 Forecast.

Euro Bias Mixed Heading into October, Q4’17

Euro Bias Mixed Heading into October, Q4'17

Why and how do we use IG Client Sentiment in trading? See our guide and real-time data.

EURUSD: Retail trader data shows 37.3% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders short to long at 1.68 to 1. In fact, traders have remained net-short since Apr 18 when EURUSD traded near 1.07831; price has moved 9.6% higher since then. The number of traders net-long is 15.4% lower than yesterday and 16.4% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 0.4% higher than yesterday and 10.5% lower from last week.

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests EURUSD prices may continue to rise. Positioning is more net-short than yesterday but less net-short from last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a further mixed EURUSD trading bias.

British Pound Reversal Potential Persists Heading into New Quarter

Why and how do we use IG Client Sentiment in trading? See our guide and real-time data.

GBPUSD: Retail trader data shows 38.2% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders short to long at 1.62 to 1. In fact, traders have remained net-short since Sep 05 when GBPUSD traded near 1.29615; price has moved 3.4% higher since then. The number of traders net-long is 0.1% higher than yesterday and 13.4% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 10.6% lower than yesterday and 18.3% lower from last week.

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests GBPUSD prices may continue to rise. Yet traders are less net-short than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current GBPUSD price trend may soon reverse lower despite the fact traders remain net-short.
