The EUR/USD Breakdown: What Investors Need to Know
As the world’s top investment manager, I have my eye on the EUR/USD pair which has recently broken below a key trendline, signaling a potential bearish pattern formation. Here’s what you need to know:
The Breakdown
- EUR/USD has broken below the trendline that has been supporting its rally since June.
- This break was followed by a throwback move on Tuesday, indicating a decline in the pair’s value.
- The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows negative momentum, suggesting a bearish short-term outlook.
What to Expect
If prices can close below Friday’s low at 1.0951, the break will be confirmed, leading to a deeper decline in the pair’s value. Potential target levels include:
- 1.0865 initially, which is the 61.8% Fibonacci extrapolation of the move prior to the trendline break.
- 1.0875, where the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) could provide support.
The Double Top Pattern
Adding to the bearish outlook is the formation of a Double Top pattern during September, signaling a potential reversal in the uptrend. Key points to note include:
- The pattern formed just below the heavy resistance line at 1.1226.
- The pattern’s “neckline” at 1.1001 has already been broken, confirming a downside target at 1.0858.
