EUR/USD
The Euro failed to sustain gains on yesterday’s rally through key 1.3200 barrier, as the price reversed lower after posting fresh high at 1.3240. Gains were capped by 50% retracement of larger 1.3710/1.2744 descend, with reversal below 1.3200 handle, softening near-term structure. The pullback found temporary support at 1.3150, 50% of 1.3053/1.3241 upleg and above trendline support / 61.8% / 20 day EMA at 1.3125. While above the latter, scope exists for fresh attempt at 1.3200, initial resistance and extension higher, as 4h structure is positive and favors further bulls, as a part of larger recovery from 1.2950. Conversely, loss of 1.3125 and psychological 1.3100, also 50% of 1.2950/1.3241, would signal top at 1.3241 and bring bears back to play.
