Wedge Pattern on the Euro Chart

During recent trading days the Euro formed a kind of up trending wedge pattern on the daily/ 4-hour chart. The wedge pattern found resistance at the daily low of June 1st (pink line) and the trading price zone of the recent consolidation (green daily circle) and support at the 127 % butterfly target and the 61,80 % weekly fib extension.

The Euro broke below the rising pink daily trend line and market cleared the stops below the recent daily low (13 of July-blue line). The  wedge pattern formed three rising highs (happens often) before market turned around.

4-hour

The 4-hour chart (above) shows the typical timing setup (red circle). The Euro broke below the daily S1, yesterday's low (red line) and the rising daily trend line (pink line) after the prior 4-hour candle closed at support (respecting it) and the new 4-hour candle started (not immediately).

The hourly chart (below) shows that the price zone of the bull flag (green circle) provided some support yesterday (9-10 a.m.). Yesterday's two marked candles with the red ellipses show some bearish pressure. The first hourly candle marks the third high but market retraced most of the hourly trading range (rejection) and the second marked candle is a doji (also kind of evening star pattern). Today, the Euro formed a consolidation between the daily and weekly pivot but market created lower highs and a lower low before the Euro broke below it.

1 hour Euro Dollar Analysis

The 5 min chart (below) shows how price reacted at support/ resistance and some consolidations whereby the consolidation at about 10 a.m. GMT had the typical three-wave structure. The marked candle at 2 p.m. (red ellipse) between the two consolidation patterns shows that the break of the red support line occurred with the beginning of the new hourly candle (Timing). The daily S2 provided support at 2 p.m. and changed its role to resistance at 4:45 p.m..
