EUR/USD Shap Movements!
EUR/USD escaped from the up-channel pattern signaling a potential sell-off. Unfortunately, the rate found support on the weekly pivot point of 1.0484 invalidating a new downside movement.
Now, it has rebounded and it has retested the broken uptrend line which represents a dynamic resistance. As long as it stays under this line and below the 1.0582 - 1.0601 area, the EUR/USD could drop again.
EUR/USD Forecast!
A new lower low, dropping and closing below the 1.0511 could activate a downside movement at least until the weekly pivot point. This scenario could bring new short opportunities. Taking out the support represented by the pivot point of 1.0484 could confirm a larger drop.
Only a new higher high, jumping and closing above the 1.0601 could bring new long opportunities.
