Talking Points

  • EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
  • Hanging Man Fails To Generate Follow-Through
  • Dojis On H4 Suggest A Consolidation Ahead

EUR/USD’s post Hanging Man pullback appears to have lost some momentum. As noted, the pair has recently posted a series of higher highs, and higher lows – the basic definition of an uptrend. In turn this casts some doubt over the potential for downside follow-through from the bearish reversal signal. Buying interest appears evident at the 1.2755 mark, below which would open 1.2620.
