Talking Points:

  • EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Short at 1.3644
  • Support: 1.3454, 1.3396, 1.3324
  • Resistance:1.3502-12, 1.3583, 1.3633

The Euro fell as expected against the US Dollar after prices put in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. Sellers are testing support at 1.3454, the 50% Fibonacci expansion. A daily close below this boundary initially exposes the 61.8% level at 1.3396. Alternatively, a move back above the 1.3502-12 area, marked by the 38.2% Fib and the June 5 low, clears the way for a test of the 23.6% expansion at 1.3583.

We sold EURUSD at 1.3644 in line with our long-term fundamental outlook and have since booked profit on half of the position. The stop-loss on our remaining exposure has been moved to the breakeven level.
