FXOpen

After finding support at 1.3400 last week, EUR/USD pulled back sharply to close the weekend at 1.3550. In order to print fresh highs above 1.3831, the shared currency needs to give weekly closing above 1.3620. Here are some key support & resistance levels for the pair this week.

  • First Resistance: 1.3561 (50% Fibo level of recent move from 1.3831 to 1.3294)
  • Second Resistance: 1.3570-1.3575 Region (76.4% fibo level of last major move from 1.2753 to 1.3831 + trendline resistance on daily chart)
  • Third Resistance: 1.3622 (61.8% fibo level of 1.2753/1.3831)
  • First support: 1.3497 (38.2% fibo level of 1.3831/1.3294)
  • Second Support: 1.3416 (23.6% fibo level of 1.3831/1.3294 + 61.8% fibo level of 1.2753/3831 + Channel Support)
  • Third Support: 1.3294 (50% fibo level + 100% fibo level)

Any break below 1.3294 will trigger further losses towards 1.3200 and 1.3100 regions. At the time of writing, the spot is hovering around 1.3515 region. There is no divergence on MACD which means the ongoing bearish trend is likely to last during next few sessions.
