Daily Chart Analysis




On the weekly chart we observe that the Euro moved up to the January 2012 low (orange line).

On the daily chart we see that EUR/USD respected (closed at) the 20 SMA yesterday and today price moved above the 20 SMA up to the January's low at 1.2624 (orange line) and the 61.80 % fib retracement at 1.2620. This resistance zone held the Euro and price fell back from this level into the price range of yesterday's daily candle. EUR/USD already failed to recapture the low from January 2012 on May 28th (recent high from May 28th coincides with January's low).

On the hourly chart (above) we see that the Euro started today's up move from the recent swing high at 1.2543 (blue line-C). After the back test of this level (resistance became support-C) EUR/USD moved above the weekly R1 but market found  resistance at the orange line (low from January 2012), 61.80 fib retracement, daily  R1 and the 61.80 % fib extension (A-B at C)

Overall, the Euro could not overcome this resistance zone at about 1.2624 and in the following price sharply fell back from resistance at 4 p.m. before price found solid support at at the 10 SMA on the 4 hour chart at 1.2546 (4 p.m. candle-not shown) closely to the recent swing high (blue line-support-D) at 1.2543.

The recent consolidation from the beginning of today's European session (8 a.m. - 10 a.m.-not shown) provided some support and led to a pause of the sudden price drop before market headed up again at 4:35 p.m. after price reached the 10 SMA on the 4 hour chart (not shown). The Euro formed a kind of inverted Head & Shoulder (3,4,5), which got triggered and market moved up to the consolidation pattern at today's high (6).
