Forex FOREX PRO WEEKLY, March 18 - 22, 2019

Morning guys,

It seems that our suspicions on EUR hidden strength was correct. First we saw it when EUR has broken through 4H K-area and Agreement without respect after strong sell-off. Yesterday market shows no reaction on on bearish reversal pattern and broken through our indicative area of 1.1370 turning short-term trend and sentiment into bullish.

Now market hits strong daily resistance area of K-level and OBght. Right now it is not good moment for long entry and we need some pullback. Breaking the harmonic swing and forming upside reversal swing on daily chart provide good chances on upside continuation.

Following the logic of harmonic swings, if it will be doubled - we're going to next top and 5/8 Fib level around 1.1520.

On 4H chart EUR also has completed very steep AB-CD pattern. Initially we consider two major supports as possible retracement target:

On 1H chart we do not have any reversal patterns yet that could trigger retracement. As momentum is rather strong, EUR could show W&R of recent tops and form butterfly instead of just AB-CD retracement down.

That's being said, scalpers could trade EUR as long as short, but only based on patterns that will be formed on 1H chart and lower time frames.

For daily traders - we do not take any short position as context has changed. For taking long position we need moderate pullback.
 
Morning guys,

Indeed, as EUR as GBP are too politicized right now and this brings more uncertainty and skew normal functioning of technical analysis.

Still, retracement that we've suggested yesterday stands under way right now. Daily trend stands bullish, but now we have bearish engulfing on daily EUR (and DXY), and it means that drop could last a bit longer.

As you can see, on 4H chart market totally has erased rally and dropped right to K-support area and trend line. For upward continuation I would prefer not as strong retracement, as I said yesterday. But as drop has happened already, we should be prepared for second leg of retracement. Upside action that this see right now looks too weak to call it as bullish trend continuation and mostly reminds retracement after yesterday's plunge:

All these stuff lead us to conclusion that we could get AB=CD type of action down. From that standpoint, it seems that attempt to go short around 1.14 area should be relatively safe. It will be "222" Sell and Agreement resistance. CD leg now looks flatter. At least 20-30 pips drop should happen but this will be enough to move stops to breakeven. Only if we get strong upside acceleration right to 1.14 area - don't be short.
