EUR/USD: Bearish Bias Amid Dollar Strength and ECB Rate Cut Ex..EUR/USD: Bearish Bias Amid Dollar Strength and ECB Rate Cut Expectations
Last Friday, the EUR/USD pair attempted to recover some of its losses from the previous week, following an initial decline in the US Dollar. The greenback weakened after the release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change and Unemployment Claims, which delivered less-than-encouraging economic signals. However, the dollar quickly regained ground thanks to positive results from the Final Services PMI, ISM Services PMI, and Crude Oil Inventories, all of which helped to boost investor confidence in the US economy.
Despite this brief rebound in EUR/USD, the pair's upside potential seems limited. Recent inflation data from the eurozone has heightened market expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) will implement a rate cut at its upcoming policy meeting on Thursday. This looming policy shift has created a bearish outlook for the euro, as lower interest rates typically reduce the attractiveness of a currency in global markets.
From a technical perspective, our bearish stance on EUR/USD remains unchanged. Over the past two weeks, the pair has struggled to maintain its rally after hitting a major supply area, which has now turned into a formidable resistance zone. Adding further to this bearish sentiment is the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, which reveals that retail traders are predominantly bullish on the euro, while institutional players, often referred to as "smart money," maintain a bearish position. This divergence suggests that the euro's recent attempts to rally may lack the institutional support needed for sustained upward momentum.
Seasonality also favors a bearish trend for the euro at this time of the year. Historical data shows that the EUR/USD pair tends to weaken during this period, aligning with our current forecast. The combination of technical resistance, COT positioning, and seasonal trends points to further downside risks for the euro.
On the chart, I have highlighted a key demand area where the price could potentially drop. This zone may act as a magnet, pulling the pair lower before triggering a possible retracement. If the price reaches this level, we may see a short-term bounce, but the overall bias remains bearish unless there is a significant shift in fundamentals or technical indicators.
In conclusion, the EUR/USD pair faces several headwinds, including dollar strength, expectations of an ECB rate cut, and bearish technical and seasonal factors. Traders should remain cautious as the pair approaches key demand levels, and any short-term rallies may be limited by broader market forces.

Euro
Watch out as EURGBP net short positioning is reversing quicklyLeveraged money net positioning is reversing from extreme short levels in EURGBP futures.
We do acknowledge the UK's recent positive political momentum amid political turbulence in the EU, however we believe the effect is in the price.
On top of that, our fundamental macro model is slightly bullish EURGBP, certainly not indicating a further drop from these levels.
This might indicate a rally in EURGBP towards 0.86 after a recent 2 standard deviation selloff.
UPDATED EURUSD IDEA.. BEARISH IS VERY STRONG NOW!The ABCD Cypher pattern formed in daily chart is still valid even after a big US Non farm payroll data released. It showed a good formation to start a strong bearish movement anytime soon on the upcoming week.
I will sell EURUSD in every bounce in the next week!
CHEERS!
EUR/USD Reversal After Strong US Data: Bearish Momentum Ahead?After yesterday's pullback, the EUR/USD pair has formed a rejection candle on the daily chart after touching the 1.1112 mark. The pair's gains against the USD were quickly reversed, as surprisingly strong US ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data for August offered significant support to the US Dollar (USD). The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, has recovered most of its intraday losses after finding buying interest near the day's low around the 101.00 level.
From a technical perspective, we have already closed 50% of our position after the price bounced back from a key supply area. The Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows a high level of retail traders accumulating long positions in EUR/USD, marking the highest accumulation since the last significant price peak in December. This accumulation hints at potential exhaustion of the bullish sentiment among retail traders, which may lead to further bearish pressure.
The ISM Services PMI report revealed that activity in the US services sector expanded slightly more than anticipated, with a reading of 51.5, compared to July's 51.4. Economists had projected a modest slowdown to 51.1, but the unexpected uptick in service activity adds another layer of support for the USD. This strong economic performance suggests that the US economy remains resilient, increasing the chances of sustained strength in the USD.
Given this scenario, we anticipate a continuation of bearish pressure on the EUR/USD and other currency pairs against the USD. With retail traders heavily positioned long and the fundamentals favoring the USD, the market may continue to see the US Dollar strengthen in the coming days, offering potential opportunities for those seeking to short the EUR/USD or other USD pairs.

EURCHF Sell signal on the 1D MA200 rejection.The EURCHF pair gave us a great buy-low-sell-high double trading opportunity last time we gave a call on it (June 28, see chart below) as not only did it initially rise to the 1.236 Fibonacci extension, but straight after it dropped to the 0.618, reaching our 0.95500 Target:
The sell-off was in fact that aggressive that it reached as low as the bottom of the 2-year Channel Down, making a new Lower Low. The instant rise and rejection on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) confirms bearish extension bias similar to the June 22 2023 rejection.
We remain bearish on this pair, targeting 0.926500 and then after a new bounce, make a final sell for a new Lower Low.

Euro can rise a little more and then start to decline Hello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Euro. Looking at the chart, we can see how the price some time ago started to grow inside the upward channel, where it soon grew to resistance level, which coincided with the seller zone. After this, the EUR turned around and made a correction movement to support line of the channel and then rebounded up. Price made a fake breakout of the resistance line of the channel and also the 1.1160 level, after which started to fall. In a short time, the EUR left the channel and continued to decline inside the wedge, where it at once dropped from the resistance line to the support line, which coincided with the support level and buyer zone. Soon, EUR broke the support level and fell to the support line of the wedge, but later it turned around and made a strong impulse up, thereby breaking the 1.1055 level one more time and exiting from the wedge pattern. To this day, the price continues to move up, so, I think EUR can rise a little more and then make a correction movement to the 1.1055 support level, where is located my TP.

EURJPY Buy opportunity only if the 1D MA50 breaks.The EURJPY pair has been trading within a long-term Channel Up since the March 07 2022 bottom. The start of July saw it experience a strong correction, technically the latest Bearish Leg of the pattern that broke below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since the week of March 20 2023 and hit the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) for the first time since March 07 2022!
The 1W MA100 held, which confirmed its status as the multi-year Support but the rebound was short-lived as, even though it marginally broke above the 1W MA50, it failed to close a candle above it.
As a result, this will be our signal to buy, a 1W candle closing above the 1W MA50. Once the bullish break-out takes place, our Target will be 182.000, which represents a +19.50% rise from the Higher Low, which is the % growth of both previous Bullish Legs within the Channel Up.

Is the EUR/USD Recovery a Pullback Before a Bearish Move?The EUR/USD pair rebounded following the release of the weaker-than-expected US JOLTS Job Openings data, prompting questions about whether this is a potential opportunity to enter short positions. After an initial rebound from the Supply area, the EUR/USD pair recovered some ground on Wednesday, likely driven by the US labor data. However, this recovery could present a pullback, offering investors a chance to add to their positions in anticipation of a possible bearish scenario.
Investors are now eagerly awaiting the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for August, scheduled for release on Friday. This official labor market data will be critical in shaping the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) path for interest rate cuts in September. While many investors believe that the Fed will begin reducing its key borrowing rates this month, there is still uncertainty regarding the size of the potential rate cut.
From a Commitment of Traders (COT) perspective, we can observe that retail traders are heavily positioned on the long side of the EUR/USD, which often serves as a contrarian indicator. Additionally, seasonality data points to a likely drop in the EUR in the near term. Given this COT scenario and the broader market sentiment, we are maintaining our bearish outlook on the EUR/USD and see this pullback as an opportunity to consider short positions.
With key data releases on the horizon, such as the NFP, traders should remain cautious but be prepared for further downside in the EUR/USD pair as market conditions evolve.

EUR/USD Faces Renewed Pressure as USD StrengthensThe EUR/USD pair has recently faced renewed downward pressure after reaching year-to-date (YTD) peaks beyond the 1.1200 level. This shift in momentum comes amid a resurgence in buying interest for the US Dollar (USD), which has dampened the pair's ability to sustain its upward trajectory.
Several factors have contributed to the recent rebound in the US Dollar. Mixed data from advanced Purchasing Managers' Indexes (PMIs) in the euro area have weighed against the continuation of the EUR/USD pair's march northward. This economic data suggested that the eurozone's recovery may not be as robust as previously anticipated, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the EUR. Additionally, the European Central Bank (ECB) recently released its Accounts, revealing that policymakers saw no immediate need to lower interest rates last month. However, they warned that a new discussion on the matter could take place in September as high rates continue to impact economic growth in the region.
From a technical perspective, the Euro has reached a strong supply area, as indicated by the EUR futures chart. This zone has acted as a significant barrier to further gains, and the pair’s inability to break above this level suggests the presence of substantial selling pressure. You can observe this technical resistance in the EUR futures chart on TradingView
EUR Futures Chart
Should the price manage to break through this supply zone, the next potential area for a reversal could be around the 1.3800 mark. However, this is contingent on several factors, including the broader economic landscape and the relative strength of the US Dollar.
Looking ahead, the US economy is expected to outperform Europe in the long term, suggesting that any prolonged weakness in the Dollar might be temporary. The stronger economic fundamentals in the US, coupled with potential policy adjustments from the Federal Reserve, could provide additional support for the USD, thereby exerting further pressure on the EUR/USD pair.
In conclusion, while the EUR/USD pair has shown some bullish tendencies in recent weeks, the combination of mixed economic data, technical resistance, and the potential for a stronger US Dollar suggests that the path forward could be challenging. Traders should keep a close eye on upcoming economic releases and central bank communications for further clues on the pair's direction.

Euro can bounce of support level, leave wedge and rise to 1.1130Hello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Euro. By observing the chart, we can see that the price rebounded down from the buyer zone and dropped, but soon turned around and started to grow inside the upward channel. In the channel, the price reached the support level, which coincided with the buyer zone and broke it, and then it continued o to move up. When EUR reached the resistance line of the channel, which coincided with the resistance level and seller zone, the price turned around and started to decline. Euro exited from the channel and later entered to wedge, where it rebounded from the support line and rose higher than the 1.1160 level, breaking it. Price some time traded near and after reaching the resistance line started to decline. In a short time, the EUR broke the 1.1160 level one more time and fell to the 1.1050 support level. But recently it bounced up and now trades very close to the resistance line of the wedge. In my opinion, the Euro can rebound up from the support level and exit from the wedge, breaking the resistance line. Then it will continue to move up, therefore I set my TP at 1.1130 points.

EURGBP Will the Support hold?Great signal out of the EURGBP pair last time we analyzed it (June 25, see chart below), as the price hit and even surpassed our 0.8550 Target:
Following that High, the pair collapsed and is about to test Support 1, which technically is Lower Lows region for the long-term Channel Down. As long as the 1D RSI Higher Lows trend-line holds, we will look for a buy on Support 1 and target the 0.618 Fibonacci extension at 0.8530.

EUR/USD to tag 1.11 before its next leg lower?It is good to finally see the USD strength we were calling for finally come into play. It may have a little further to run, which could see further downside on the weekly chart for EUR/USD. But first, we look at a potential long on the daily and 4-hour chart, taking the weekly analysis into account.
EURUSD Long-term Sell Signal confirmed.The EURUSD pair confirmed with last week's closing the start of a new bearish sequence as it closed the 1W candle in deep red below even the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). This established not only the previous High as the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the 11-month Channel Up but also posted an identical long-term Top sequence as the July 17 2023 weekly candle.
As you can see on both tops a long-term series of red weeks was initiated, both of then stopping on the Higher Lows trend-line of the Channel Up. As a result, our 1.0900 medium-term bearish Target appears to be a modest one as it is where we anticipate the first wave of buyers (Support) on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) 1W MA100 (green trend-line) cluster. This may provide a bounce similar to February 12 2024.
As a side-note, notice how the 1W RSI posted a similar rejection - reversal top on the 70.00 overbought barrier, same as July 10 2023.

EUR/USD on the Move - Eyes on the 1.17 Target!💶📈 EUR/USD on the Move - Eyes on the 1.17 Target! 🚀💥
Hey traders, it's time to look at one of the most traded pairs in the forex world: EUR/USD. This pair has been a fascinating ride, and now we are entering a pivotal moment once again.
Since I shifted focus towards crypto and volatility, my forex trading has become more selective. Trading fewer times but with more patience has brought great results, and this approach has worked exceptionally well in recent months.
🔍 Key Insights:
We had a perfect short at 1.232, riding it all the way down to parity. Not many believed we’d see EUR/USD drop to 1.00 or lower, but we anticipated it, and it played out as expected.
The next major move was the reversal at parity, and we've been long since. With EUR/USD now reclaiming the 1.11 level, the charts are pointing towards a possible further move upwards.
While there is a 35% chance of EUR/USD retesting 1.10, the majority of the indicators suggest continued support, and I’m looking at a target of 1.17.
I had great success focusing on USD/JPY shorts, but now it’s time to re-enter EUR/USD, which has been a phenomenal trade from 0.97 to 1.12. I’m considering increasing my positions, with eyes on that 1.17 target.
Don’t forget to check my recent DXY (Dollar Index) post, as these markets are closely connected and tell a similar story.
Also, keep an eye on Bitcoin—I believe it’s going to make headline news soon!

Euro can drop to 1.1100 points, thereby exiting from wedgeHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Euro. Observing the chart, we can see that the price a few moments ago entered to range and dropped from the support level, which coincided with the support area to the buyer zone. When the EUR fell to this area, it some time traded very close to the bottom part of the range and later rebounded up to the support level. Also, inside the range, the price formed three gaps, and on the third gap, the Euro exited from range, entered to wedge, and dropped to support line of this pattern. Later price turned around and started to grow, after which in a short time rose higher than the 1.0900 level, breaking it finally and then made a retest. After this price rebounded from the support line of the wedge and rose to the resistance line, but a not long time ago EUR rolled down from this line. At the moment, I think that the price can rise almost to the resistance line of the wedge and then drop, thereby exiting from the wedge. For this case, I set my TP at 1.1100 points.

EurUsd → so bullishhello guys.
let's dive into eurusd
Breaking the Channel:
The price has broken out of a previous channel, which suggests a potential bullish momentum continuation. This breakout is marked as a significant event that has shifted the trend.
The Last High Broken:
The chart indicates that the last significant high around the $1.1169 level was broken. This breakout above the previous high is a strong bullish signal, suggesting further upward potential.
Internal Trendline:
There’s an internal trendline within the broader trend that could act as support if the price pulls back. The price might retest this trendline before moving higher.
Potential Bullish Move:
After breaking the last high, the price may retrace slightly to retest the breakout level or the internal trendline, before continuing its upward move.
The next potential target appears to be in the region of $1.1300, where the price may find the next significant resistance.
Current Price Action:
The price is currently hovering around $1.1166, slightly above the previous resistance, which now acts as support. This area will be critical in determining if the price continues its bullish trajectory or pulls back for a deeper retest.
This analysis underscores a bullish outlook for the EUR/USD pair, emphasizing the importance of the broken resistance level and the potential for further gains if the trend continues. Traders should watch for a retest of the breakout level to confirm the strength of the move.

EURUSD approaches mother of all Resistances from the 2008 crisisThe EURUSD pair broke through all major medium-term Resistance levels, with the latest being the 1W MA200, but is now facing perhaps the most important Resistance of all. That is the Lower Highs trend-line, that started during the height of the 2008 U.S. Housing Crisis on July 2008.
As you can see on this 1M time-frame, this Resistance is technically the top of the 19-year Falling Wedge pattern, which encompasses different cycles of foreign exchange price action, such as the 1M MA200 (orange trend-line) turning from a multi-year Support to multi-year Resistance etc.
The presence of the 1M MA100 (green trend-line) adds more selling pressure to the current Resistance cluster, which had the last major long-term rejection on July 2023 and before that on February 2018 (along with the 1M MA200 that time).
Ideally, the sell signal will get strengthened if the 1M RSI gets rejected on its 15-year Resistance Zone. As a result, a rejection within the multi-year Falling Wedge, will most likely see EURUSD test the Symmetrical Support Zone (blue), which only broke once during the recent 2022 Inflation Crisis.
If however the price closes a 1M candle above the Lower Highs of the Wedge, we will turn bullish long-term towards the 1M MA200, aiming at around 1.2000.
