EURUSD trade ideas
EUR/USD 6E Futures Risk Management: Navigating Macro Divergence As Risk Manager at WaverVanir International, I’m constantly evaluating asymmetrical setups where macroeconomic divergence aligns with technical structure. The current EUR/USD trade is one such instance—an evolving case of volatility compression within a descending triangle, positioned beneath key resistance at 1.1730.
🔻 Bias: Bearish
🧮 Structure: Daily lower highs + descending triangle
📉 Key Break Level: 1.1612 (horizontal support)
⚠️ Invalidation: Daily close above 1.1730
📊 Probability: 65% likelihood of downside continuation into August, driven by USD real yield strength and ECB rate path lag
We’re managing this trade with dynamic risk protocols:
🔐 Option hedge overlay for tail protection
🎛️ Exposure throttle post-FOMC volatility
💡 VolanX protocol flags 1.1530 and 1.1360 as likely liquidity pools if 1.1612 gives out
🧠 Remember: It's not about being right—it's about being protected when wrong.

3-Year Euro Uptrend — An Absurdity Amid a Weak EconomyCMCMARKETS:EURUSD
The euro is climbing, hitting its highest levels since late 2021 near $1.18. This surge is driven by diverging central bank policies—with the ECB holding rates steady while the Fed leans dovish—amid global tensions that push gold higher and rattle markets, weakening the dollar even though the eurozone economy remains fragile.
📉 1️⃣ Dollar Weakness Takes Center Stage
Since its January 2025 peak, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen by over 11% 📉—one of its worst starts in decades, comparable to the slumps of 1986 and 1989. As inflation cools, markets are betting on Fed rate cuts, pulling U.S. Treasury yields lower. Coupled with monetary policy divergence and tariff drama, the dollar’s usual safe-haven appeal is fading, even amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
📊 2️⃣ Fed–ECB Policy Divergence
While the ECB has signaled the possibility of one or two cuts this year, markets are pricing in a milder path. By contrast, the Fed is tilting dovish, with swaps markets expecting a rate cut in September and another by December 🗓️. This widening yield differential supports EUR/USD, even though eurozone growth remains soft.
⚖️ 3️⃣ Trump Tariff Risks and Sentiment Shift
Uncertainty around U.S. trade policy—especially the threat of renewed tariffs—has weighed more heavily on USD sentiment than on eurozone currencies. Markets view these tariffs as inflationary and damaging to U.S. growth prospects. Speculative positioning data confirms record bearish sentiment on the dollar, with funds underweight USD for the first time in 20 years 💼.
💶 4️⃣ Eurozone’s Fiscal Shift
Germany has begun spending and borrowing, marking a dramatic pivot from years of fiscal restraint. This has raised hopes for an investment-driven recovery across the eurozone. Meanwhile, ECB President Christine Lagarde is avoiding signaling aggressive cuts, stabilizing market expectations and maintaining a sense of monetary calm—for now 🛡️.
🛡️ 5️⃣ Safe-Haven Flows Shifting
Traditionally, geopolitical stress boosts the USD as a safe haven. This cycle is different: investors are increasingly turning to gold, the Swiss franc, and the yen as defensive assets, indirectly supporting the euro. In April, when Trump delayed tariff plans, safe-haven USD flows unwound further, fueling euro gains 💰.
⚠️ Risks Ahead for EUR/USD:
💔 Weak Eurozone Fundamentals:
The eurozone economy is not booming. The IMF projects just 0.9% growth for 2025, with Germany, France, and Italy struggling to regain momentum. The ECB’s Financial Stability Review flags worsening credit conditions, weak private investment, and deteriorating balance sheets, none of which support sustained euro appreciation 📉.
🚢 A Strong Euro Hurts Exports:
Eurozone exporters in machinery, chemicals, and autos are already facing squeezed margins from rising input costs and global protectionism. A stronger euro makes exports less competitive, shrinking the eurozone’s current account surplus, which dropped sharply from €50.9 billion in March to €19.8 billion in April, according to the ECB 📊.
⚡ Political Risks Looming:
Fragile coalitions in Germany, budget battles in France, and rising anti-EU sentiment in Italy and the Netherlands could swiftly unwind euro gains if tensions escalate. Should the ECB turn dovish to support a weakening labor market, the euro’s rally could reverse quickly 🗳️.
📈 7️⃣ Technical Picture: Overextension Warning
In addition to the macro drivers, EUR/USD is now technically overextended. The pair has already retraced exactly 78.6% of its major bearish trend that started in January 2021 and ended in September of that year. Ahead lies a strong resistance zone at 1.18000–1.20000, which will be difficult to break without a significant catalyst.
Notably, the daily chart shows bearish RSI divergence, indicating fading momentum beneath the surface of this rally. A pullback toward the 1.13000 level would not be surprising, even as near-term momentum remains strong. This technical setup calls for caution while the pair tests these critical levels.
📈 Technical Outlook: EUR/USD Showing Signs of Overextension
Beyond macroeconomic factors, EUR/USD is currently technically overextended. The pair has retraced exactly 78.6% of its major bearish trend that began in January 2021 and concluded in September the same year. It is now approaching the upper boundary of a 3-year ascending channel, facing a significant resistance zone between 1.18000 and 1.20000—a hurdle unlikely to be crossed without a strong catalyst.
Additionally, the weekly chart reveals a bearish RSI divergence, signaling that underlying momentum is weakening despite the recent rally. Given this, a pullback toward the 1.13000 level is plausible, even as short-term momentum remains robust. This technical setup advises caution as the pair navigates these critical resistance levels.
EURUSD DAILY UPDATESAs the main trendline on daily timeframe breaks, with the impulsive push price upside and also it closes below the previous day high.
I personally short the idea, see chart above
this is not a financial advice.
you can have a short positions on monday open with stoploss on previous day of the highest wick candle.
This is only my view, I shared the 3hr timeframe. the idea is on Daily.
Goodluck..
EU could go up againHi traders,
Last week EU continued the slowly down movement to the next bullish Daily FVG. Price rejected from there and swept the low of the rejection. After that it slowly went up again.
Next week we could see price go higher for the start of the next (impulsive or corrective) wave up.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for the finish of a correction down and a change in orderflow to bullish on a lower time frame to trade longs.
If you want to learn more about trading with FVG's, liquidity sweeps and Wave analysis, then make sure to follow me.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis.
Don't be emotional, just trade your plan!

EUR/USD Recovery into Resistance TestEUR/USD bears had an open door to make a run last week and, so far, they've failed. The Wednesday turn around Trump's threat to fire Jerome Powell certainly made a mark, but the question now is whether the USD can respond to support at a longer-term trendline; and, in turn, EUR/USD is now testing in the zone between 76.4 and 78.6% Fibonacci retracements of the 2021-2022 major move.
There's also the underside of the falling wedge pattern that's now coming in as resistance as taken from prior support. The next resistance level overhead is the 1.1748 level, which is the 78.6% retracement that had offered both resistance and support with short-term price action in the pair. - js
Educational EUR/USD Chart Breakdown – Price Action at Key LevelsEducational EUR/USD Chart Breakdown – Price Action at Key Levels
This EUR/USD (1-hour) chart provides a great example of how support and resistance zones, combined with price action and indicators like Bollinger Bands, can help anticipate market moves.
🔹 Resistance Zone Tested:
The pair recently approached the 1.17500–1.17800 resistance zone. This level had previously acted as a supply zone, and price once again showed rejection here, indicating selling pressure.
🔹 Bollinger Band Overextension:
Notice how the price extended beyond the upper Bollinger Band—this often signals that the market is overbought in the short term, leading to a potential reversal or correction.
🔹 Bearish Reaction & Target:
After rejection from resistance, the chart outlines a bearish move with a target at 1.16097. This level lies just above the next strong support zone (1.15500–1.16100), offering a realistic area for price to stabilize if the downtrend continues.
🔹 What to Learn:
Support & Resistance: Prices often react at key zones; previous resistance can turn into support and vice versa.
Confluence Tools: Use indicators like Bollinger Bands with price structure to increase confidence.
Target Planning: Identify likely reaction zones for risk management and profit-taking.
📚 Summary
This setup is a clean example of trading within a range and using technical confluence to plan entries and exits. If price breaks below 1.17130 with strong momentum, the probability increases for the market to reach the 1.16097 target.

EURUSD Forecast – Smart Money Setup 21st July 2025Here’s the detailed breakdown of my current EURUSD setup based on internal/external liquidity and order block reaction:
🔹 Bias: Bullish (after deeper retracement)
🧠 Breakdown:
Liquidity Sweep ✅
A clear liquidity sweep took place below recent equal lows.
This sweep triggered a bullish displacement, confirming demand.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) 🔁
A valid MSS followed the sweep, confirming short-term reversal in structure.
4H Internal Liquidity 🫧
Price tapped into internal liquidity, setting the stage for a deeper retracement before continuation.
15 Min Order Block (OB) 🧱
Price is currently trading within a 15-minute OB zone, which aligns with minor resistance before a deeper retrace.
🔻 Anticipated Retracement:
Expecting a short-term rejection from the current OB zone.
Price may retrace into the 4H OB zone near 1.1590–1.1610, aligning with an upcoming 4H liquidity pool.
This zone also aligns with previous mitigation and accumulation areas.
🟢 Final Target:
If the 4H OB holds, I'm anticipating a bullish continuation targeting the external 4H liquidity near 1.1730+.
📌 Summary:
Waiting for retracement into demand zone → looking to long from 1.1590–1.1610 area → targeting 1.1730+.
✍️ Execution Plan:
Set alerts near 1.1610
Look for LTF CHoCH or BOS confirmation in demand
Enter with tight stop loss below 4H OB
Target external liquidity
EURUSD – Preparing For Potential Volatility AheadThe week ahead has all the elements to be a volatile one for EURUSD traders to navigate. First, the unwind of long positions that has been on-going throughout July, since prices hit a 4 year high at 1.1830 on July 1st may have potentially found a short-term base after rebounding last week from printing a low of 1.1556 on Thursday. More on this in the technical section below.
Secondly, Bloomberg reported over the weekend that negotiations to agree a trade deal between the US and EU are proving to be more challenging than initially hoped. This leaves room for market moving headlines on this topic, or social media posts from President Trump that could influence the direction of FX markets, especially if it shifts trader expectations towards preparing for the prospect of a trade war between these two global economic heavyweights.
Then on Thursday, consideration needs to be given to the ECB interest rate decision (1315 BST) and then the press conference led by ECB President Lagarde, which starts at 1345 BST. After eight consecutive rate cuts at their previous meetings, the European Central Bank are expected to take a pause to assess incoming inflation and growth data, so this outcome would probably not be a surprise. However, the comments of Madame Lagarde in the press conference could increase EURUSD volatility given that there is some uncertainty surrounding whether a further rate cut is possible either in September, or later in the year.
Technical Update: Limited Price Correction or Reversal?
We all know well, even if an asset is trading within a positive uptrend, periods of price weakness can materialise, before fresh buying support develops. This can lead to renewed price strength that manages to break and close above a previous high, leading to an extension of a pattern of higher price highs and higher price lows.
Having been capped by the July 1st high at 1.1830, EURUSD has seen a price correction develop. Traders may be trying to decide if this is a limited move lower before fresh price strength is seen, or if it could be a price reversal, which may result in risks of a more extended phase of price weakness.
Much will depend on the outcome of the risk events outlined above, as well as future market sentiment and price trends, however it is possible to assess what may be the important support and resistance levels that traders could focus on to help gauge the next direction of price activity
Potential Support Levels:
After a period of price strength, it can be useful to calculate Fibonacci retracements on the latest up move to identify areas of potential support. As the chart below shows, for EURUSD, the latest phase of price strength seen from 1.1065 the May 12th low up to 1.1830, the July 1st high can be used for this purpose.
The 38% retracement of this advance stands at 1.1539 and after having remained intact during last week’s sell off, traders may now be watching how this support level performs on a closing basis.
Breaks below 1.1539, while not a guarantee of further price declines, may then lead to a deeper phase of weakness towards 1.1446, the June 19th low, even 1.1356, which is equal to the lower 61.8% retracement level.
Potential Resistance Levels:
If the 38% retracement support at 1.1539 holds any future price weakness in the week ahead, a positive trending condition may still be in place, opening the possibility of EURUSD moving back to higher levels again.
Any potential upside move could bring 1.1690 into play as an important resistance. This is the current level of the Bollinger mid-average, with closing breaks above this needed to open retests of 1.1830 July 1st highs, maybe further if this is in turn broken.

ECB holds rates as expected, Euro steadyThe euro is showing limited movement on Thursday. In the North American session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.1763, down 0.03% on the day. Earlier, the euro climbed to a high of 1.1788, its highest level since July 7.
The European Central Bank's decision to maintain the key deposit rate at 2.0% was significant but not a surprise. With the hold, the ECB ended a streak of lowering rates at seven consecutive meetings. The ECB has been aggressive, chopping 250 basis points in just over a year.
The ECB statement said that inflation was falling in line with the Bank's forecasts and that future rate decisions would be data dependent. President Lagarde has said that the easing cycle is almost down, but the markets are expecting at least one more rate cut before the end of the year.
The European Union and the United States are locked in negotiations over tariffs, with hopes that an agreement can be reached, on the heels of the US-Japan deal earlier this week. US President Trump has threatened to hit the EU with 30% tariffs if a deal is not made by August 1, but there are signals that the sides will agree to 15% tariffs on European imports, as was the case in the US-Japan agreement.
If an agreement is reached, it will greatly reduce the uncertainty around tariffs and will make it easier for the ECB to lower rates and make more accurate forecasts for inflation and growth.
In the US, Services PMI rose to 55.2 in July, up from 52.9 in June and above the market estimate of 53.0. This pointed to strong expansion and marked the fastest pace of growth in seven months. Manufacturing headed the opposite direction, falling from 52.6 in June, a 37-month high, to 49.5. This was the first contraction since December, with new orders and employment falling.
EUR/USD Update: Bullish Momentum Builds The euro just popped above $1.17 as optimism grows around a potential US-EU trade deal, following the recent US-Japan agreement. 📊
From a technical perspective:
• The euro found support at the April high of 1.1573, rebounding sharply — a strong sign that the bull trend is still intact. 🚀
• Next resistance levels to watch:
o 1.1830 – July’s high 📅
o 1.1850 – Top of a long-term channel from 2022 📈
o 1.2000 – The 200-month moving average, a major long-term target that often attracts price reaction 🔄
📌 Key takeaway: The path of least resistance remains to the upside, with momentum building toward 1.18+ in the near term.
