EURUSD Discussions

Recommended Posts

Though i'm biased short, current price action is neither short nor long ... the pair is stuck, waiting for a catalyst to drive it somewhere?! How many times $1.38 was broken to the upside, only the pair fall down! The last time $1.34 was attacked, only price to bounce higher!

 

It's one of these situations, that you either wait for the direction to take place and follow - or you bet, with a 50/50 chance

 

The range last week was about 78 pips from high to low. We are certainly range bound.

 

The standstill in the Ukraine continues as the Russian Army troops remain assembled at the Ukrainian border, taunting the West with their presence, and the secrecy of their mission.

 

Increased sanctions are are supposed to be implemented on Monday. But how far will they go? Like you I am biased to the short side. We had a lower high on the Daily Charts last week. If 13775 gives way I would expect a retest of 13700. All in all, a lot of drama for 75 pips. I think I'll play with EUR/JPY this week. :)

I have to agree with your Bearish sentiment on EURUSD . As long as 1.3900 holds i am playing the downside and it may go down to ur targets of 1.3775 or even lower.

Fundamental Forecast for Euro: Bearish

 

A serious flaw was exposed in the European Central Bank’s policy strategy this week, setting up the Euro for a potentially rough few weeks going forward. With ECB President Mario Draghi saying that the Governing Council felt “comfortable” enacting further dovish policies at the June meeting once the new staff economic projections were released, the market’s growing calls for new dovish action has been materially altered into a full-blown expectation of a substantive policy change in four weeks.

The fact that euro has been ignoring ECB members retracements from the initial Draghi statement and Bundesbank clarifications tells me that position is still long or at least not overly short. Still I believe there has been a substantial covering from long-term longs, forced solo by the size of the move.

The size and speed of the move also tells me there were longs caught off-guard for a 1.40 break, and eager money to short as the cracks appeared.

Interesting to note is the reluctancy to sell EURUSD while it’s trending higher and only events like this are needed to create any serious selling pressure, which can't be sustained on current ECB behavior.

With all the selling and EURUSD still trading at 1.37 is very euro positive.

After the previous week's sharp losses in the EURUSD following a key reversal, we had felt the euro might be able to stage a modest recovery. Such was not the case. The weekly high was about 25 pips above last week's close - a feeble performance - and working toward the end of last week's trade, we are slightly under the 1.37 handle.

Spain, Greece Receive Rating Upgrades

Spain and Greece sovereign ratings were upgraded on Friday by major rating agencies as remedial measures taken by both nations over the last few years started to support economic recovery and revamp fiscal positions.

 

Citing improved economic growth and competitiveness, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised the long-term sovereign ratings of Spain to 'BBB' from 'BBB-'. The 'stable' outlook on ratings suggest that the risks to the ratings remain balanced over the next two years.

 

Elsewhere, Fitch Ratings lifted Greece rating by one notch as the nation posted a primary surplus amid easing near-term sovereign liquidity risks. Although the ratings were raised to 'B' from 'B-', it still remain in junk territory.

 

Reflecting the effects of labor and other structural reforms, Spain's economy is set to grow more than previously estimated, S&P said. The agency upgraded the real growth projections for 2014-2016 to 1.6 percent from 1.2 percent.

 

S&P believes the recovering economy will support Spain's fiscal consolidation and help public debt to decline slowly as private debt continues to be gradually paid down.

 

Net export growth continues to be a major contributor to GDP. Nevertheless, S&P said the still very high debt levels in the economy will probably lead to an extended period of relatively subdued domestic demand.

 

The rating agency expects that recovering employment will contribute to improvements in Spain's fiscal position and the stabilization of financial system asset quality.

 

Fitch noted that Greece achieved a primary surplus in the general government account in 2013, a key target of the EU-IMF programme. The agency forecasts the adjusted primary surplus to rise further in 2014 to 1.4 percent of GDP.

 

Moreover, near-term sovereign liquidity risk has fallen and a better fiscal track record is being established. The government is not fully funded by EU and IMF lending over 2014-15 but there are several plausible options to bridge the funding gap.

The European Commission demand the British must pay an extra £500M more for the additional Brussels spending.The timing of the request is awkward, immediately following the British vote for the European Parliament. In this election the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP or Ukip) easily beat both Labor and the Tories. Ukip is a Euroskeptic political party founded in 1993. The anti EU vote and the outraged response was not confined to the UK.

The market is positioning for further downside and at 78.6% Fib level, 100% retracement is a big magnet. I expect 13475 to be hit before major uptrend resumption.

EURUSD not even going back to retrace any of Tuesday's daily candle.

 

Sometimes a lack of retrace means the move is extended, but I don't believe that to be the case in this scenario.

 

Best case for scenario for longs is it drops in a straight line from here to 1.35 and then see capitulation short covering, while retail starts to open shorts for themselves.

Monday will probably see 1.3557 takes us back too 1.3533/29 then up too 1.3570 then that's the top of the move and will be shorted...... people be targeting double bottom of last move so 1.3512.. and that's likely to be S1 on daily.... others targeting last swing low of 1.3503 then others targeting the proper low at 1.3486

if 1.3486 breaks by even a fraction of a pip then not sure if will pullback or short immediately... aint got enough data on pro realtime but other charts suggest new short would be around 1.3537 if its going to work but if 1.3486 breaks by a fraction of a pip you will have shorters immediately at 1.3512 .

After falling to take out the 13500 level, the EURO has been trying to make a comeback.

Some of the euro rally was probably the result of USD selling in front of the Feds monthly meeting. After the meeting Fed Chairman Yellen expressed reserved optimism. The US economy was making gains, in her opinion,, and the tapering of their monthly bond purchases would drop another $10B to 35B per month. Still, she conceded interest rates would remain low, and any rate increases were unlikely until the summer of 2015.

Two weeks ago, the European Central Bank announced a series of measures to ease monetary policy and in doing they shifted the medium term outlook for the euro. Although the currency had been on a downtrend since early May, investors did not aggressively short euros until the central bank’s June 5th announcement. Not only did the ECB increase support to the economy but they also expressed their willingness to do more, making them one of the most dovish G7 central banks. Two weeks forward, EUR/USD stabilized above 1.35 as investors realized that even if the central bank is open to increasing stimulus, they won’t be doing so for at least another 2 months. As a smart central bank, they will want to see how the economy responds to the latest measures before taking further action. However even though that may be the case, next week’s busy Eurozone economic calendar is an important test for the euro because investors will be looking to the data to provide confirmation on the need for additional easing.

3589 doing its thing still for the bulls and bear norm. but if for some reason we bounce from here to 3637/44 ish w/o breaking this weeks high. then make a LL of this weeks low. then the pa on a st scale will point to sub 3494.. i have support anticipated here 3494/86.. but a LL after, indicates deeper in the st to 3470 or more. in the scenario in this post. just speculation if we bounce now to 3637 and the bulls failure to make a HH. biased bears may do better to watch. even with a 350x LL bears may then be able to wait for 3637/44. the way it looks atm. of course bulls still have the ball st until. 3102 is still the norm unreached

Did Last Week's Data Give Us Any Clues For The Euro's Direction?

 

It was a busy week for economic data from both Europe and the US, compressed into a holiday shortened week. The initial market judgement is that the constructive US NFP report was a far more decisive input than the Draghi's promise to take future measures, should last month's monetary changes fail to ignite an EU recovery.

Eur/Usd has fallen significantly in the past two days and currently price is hovering just above support of 1.3500. After the fall from 1.3620 to 1.3520 in the past couple of days, today's Asian & London session has been quiet and price has been moving in a tight range of 20 - 25 pips. We continue to hold a bearish bias in this pair till next support zone of 1.3485 to 1.3475. On the upside, resistance is at 1.3670 - 1. 3700.

From a technical perspective, 1.35 is less significant than the February 3rd low of 1.3477. However taking a look at the chart, today’s decline has taken EUR/USD below trend line support. If the pair breaks its 2014 low of 1.3477, the next stop could be the November low of 1.3295. However if it holds 1.3450 (we’ll give it a bit of flexibility), it could be back into the 1.35 to 1.37 range for the pair.

Looking at the Daily it does show that it was bought back up on Monday. Nice pin bar we could see a movement back up in the short term and looks like an easy 100 pip long IMO.

      Hi GUYS, Happy Wednesday!
      I'd like to share daily forex analysis from Followme, hope this information helps your trading.
      Today, Let's focus on AUD and NZD.
      AUDUSD is trading at 0.6761; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.6765 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.6635. Another signal to confirm further descending movement is the price’s rebounding from the descending channel’s upside border. However, the scenario that implies further decline may be canceled if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.6825. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.6905.

      So I've been 18 for about 4 months, since I turned 18 I started up an account, and basically thought I was doing amazing because of beginners luck, put in some of my savings and managed to do well, some days I would make £200, one day I even made £900, after time I lost my profits and made a loss as well. I've realised I need to spend the time analysing the market and making technical judgments. I'm trying to read more and spend a lot of my time looking at the charts. is there any advice people can give me. and is making 5% a week a realistic goal to set myself? before anyone assumes that im looking for a get rich quick scheme, im certainly not, I see every loss ive made as a lesson and ensure that I learn from each mistake I make. 
      any advice about indicators, strategies, how to analyse the market, or even analysing earning reports would help me.

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity.
