EUR/USD: Bears Disappointed With Yesterday's Close

#
EUR/USD Daily Chart
EUR/USD Daily Chart
  • EUR/USD bears have been disappointed with the past three weak follow-through bars after August 23. Some are buying back shorts around the low close (August 23), which is why the market is bouncing here.
  • The market formed a Low 1 short yesterday. However, it is a bull doji bar and follows two other bull doji bars. This increases the odds of trading range price action and lowers the probability of selling below yesterday’s bar. Another reason why traders bought at or below yesterday’s low.
  • Bulls are starting to do a good job of causing the market to stall around the 1.000 big round number.
  • Next, the bulls need to get a strong bull bar closing on its high and preferably closing above the highs of the past four bars.
  • The selloff down to August 23 is in a tight channel, which increases the odds that the first reversal down will fail, so the market still may have to go more sideways at this price level.
  • Bears see the past four bars as a pullback and a minor reversal, and they are probably right. However, the market has been in a trading range since mid-July. This means that the although the odds favor a minor reversal up, the pullback could be much deeper than the bears want.
  • Also, the bulls have a reasonable chance at getting a double bottom with the July 14 low here.
  • Ultimately, the market will likely return to the mid-May-June trading range over the next few months.
  • The next target for the bulls would be a breakout above the August 10 neckline of the double bottom (July 14 and August 23). The bulls want a measured move up to around the May high.
  • Today is Friday, so a weekly chart is essential. The current bar on the weekly chart is a reversal bar, within 40 pips of the open of the week. The bulls will try their best to close above the open of the week and far above it, creating a bull reversal bar on the week.
  • Bears want the opposite, and the market to close around the week’s midpoint. The bulls have already done the damage, and the bears will likely have difficulty driving the market down to the middle of this week’s range.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. 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...
