Forecast for EUR/USD on December 18, 2019

EUR / USD

On Tuesday, the euro traded at the Fibonacci level of 110.0% once again, which was helped by good data on the eurozone’s trade balance - volume in October amounted to 24.5 billion euros against the expectation of 19.7 billion. In the USA, the macroeconomic factor was not weaker: industrial production in November increased by 1.1% against the forecast of 0.8%; while the foundations were laid for new houses of 1.37 million y / y against the expectation of 1.34 million y / y. Therefore, investors preferred to take profits after a week of previous growth.

According to information from Japanese agencies, direct sales of the euro began during the Asian session today, as evidenced by higher trading volumes than on Monday. On the daily chart, divergence according to Marlin takes on a more pronounced form. Thus, we are waiting for the euro to decline to support the nested price channel line in the region of 1.1062.

However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
