EURUSD Trendline Breakout – Bullish Target Ahead
EURUSD has successfully broken out of a strong descending trendline, which was acting as dynamic resistance for weeks. The breakout is backed by strong bullish candles and clear higher lows forming.
After the breakout, the price also reclaimed a key horizontal support zone around 1.12573, turning it into a solid base for further upside.
🎯 Bullish Target (Expected):
First major bullish target at 1.13864 based on the 1.618 Fibonacci extension from the last swing move.
📌 Support: 1.12573
📌 Breakout Confirmation: Valid as long as price holds above the trendline and support.
📈 Outlook:
The momentum looks strong for further bullish continuation. If the price holds above the breakout zone, we expect a move toward 1.13864 in the coming sessions.
EURUSD Wave Analysis – 20 May 2025- EURUSD broke daily down channel
- Likely to rise to resistance level 1.1370
EURUSD currency pair continues to rise inside the minor impulse wave (3), which started earlier from the strong support level 1.1130 intersecting with the support trendline of the daily down channel from April.
The support level 1.1130 was strengthened by the 50% Fibonacci correction of the sharp upward impulse 5 from March.
Given the clear daily uptrend, EURUSD currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 1.1370 (which stopped the previous correction B).

Price did swing to equal highs that I did frame when I bought. Nice delivery with out me!
Take aways

Previous range Premium
My idea of price selling off to inefficient delivered price action yesterday, was NOT the Marco London move.
What I over looked today on HTF analysis I see in hindsight now or what I am studying as result of being wrong.
*HFT May 12 Monday made a low to the 70 HTF fib
*Price retraces and returned to open and close in the same tight range, consolidating-building in orders
*yesterday I executed a buy day with this HTF logic of price seeking the 50 HTF fib level-last week price was in a discount and this week heading to a premium
*Yesterday Price expands to the 50 fib HTF to it and through it-celebrate my idea and trade being correct
*Price closes in a premium just above the 50 HTF fib
*Logic said intraday retracement of inefficient price to have a sell off day in London

US Credit Downgrade and Brexit Progress Lift EuroThe euro approached the $1.13 mark on Tuesday, extending its rebound from the one-month low recorded on May 12. The rally followed a broad-based weakening in the US dollar after Moody’s downgraded the US credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing mounting government debt and widening fiscal deficits. The downgrade sparked investor concerns about long-term US economic stability and pressured dollar-denominated assets.
The EU and UK finalized a provisional agreement addressing key post-Brexit issues such as defense, fisheries, youth mobility, and security cooperation. The deal may pave the way for UK companies to participate in major EU defense projects, marking a potential turning point in EU-UK relations.
The European Central Bank is expected to initiate a rate cut in June, with additional easing possible later in the year. Despite these expectations, the euro has held firm, buoyed by both geopolitical developments and dollar weakness.
EUR/USD now faces resistance at 1.1260, with further upside barriers at 1.1460 and 1.1580. Support lies at 1.1040, followed by 1.1000 and 1.0960.

Key Points
- U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which both agreed that Russia and Ukraine should immediately begin negotiations for a ceasefire and, more importantly, an end to the war. President Putin echoed the same message to reporters and described the call as overall very productive.
- Following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 on the 16th, the “Sell USA” sentiment continues in the market.
- U.S. long-term Treasury yields have returned to levels seen before the Moody’s downgrade, indicating that the market has not reacted strongly to the news.

EURUSD Chart Analysis
As expected, the pair found support around the 1.11000 level and is now forming a price pattern within the upper trend channel. It is expected to break through this area without much resistance, with a potential to reach a high around the 1.14000 level in this rally. However, if this zone is broken, there is also the possibility of further upside toward the previous high near the 1.16000 level. We’ll keep a close eye on price movements around this resistance zone.

*Sundays delivery price expanded from a discount to rebalanced Fridays inefficient delivered price.

*NY in a premium retraced to 50% of the price leg lowered into a discount and closed weaving back forth around the equilibrium.
Fantastic delivery. I have never read the candles so clear as I did yesterday. Tape reading, studying ghosting life is paying off! So grateful to be learning the coolest skill!
Did we create the high of the week?
Was that a run on buy stops because this pair is shifting to bear prices?
May 20 Idea
Logic says with price previous session taking buy side liquidity price will seek discount prices today gravitating to efficient delivered price and sell side liquidity.
NOTE price could consolidate today with a huge range previous day, no news can also sometimes present choppy days.
All elements of my model MUST be in play before I do anything today.
The day after a successful trade to be extra alert. Protect your gain.
Note price did not retrace to .618 just below the 50%.
EUR/USD - potential bearish move incoming
The daily chart shows us that the current trend is upwards with higher highs and higher lows.
On the 4 hour chart, we have price trading in a falling wedge for the past 28 days. Combining this with the daily uptrend, this current downtrend on the 4 hour is considered a pause that will eventually explode to the upside, and resume the daily uptrend
Price recently formed a red shooting star candle on high volume, signaling a short term reversal.
An opportunity exists for a short term trade targeting the nearest clustered support zone with a stop loss placed slightly outside the shooting star candle, thus granting a 1:2 RR trade.
EURUSD is set to flyIt looks like we have the perfect storm for this pair as macro news will contribute to create some bullish momentum, news liike this one of 2 days ago:
"Moody's cuts America's pristine credit rating, citing rising debt"
www.reuters.com
My technical analysis is pretty clear, we have a descending wedge that has been taking shape for the last 15 years. We had a breakout and a retest so bullish momentum can resume now.
EURUSD Eyes 1.13 on Moody's Credit DowngradeThe latest rebound from head & shoulders targets on both the US Dollar Index and EURUSD was amplified by Moody’s credit rating downgrade
Markets are expected to watch the Trump administration for reassuring headlines, reasserting the 1.1290 resistance on the pair before sustaining another leg higher in line with the 2025 uptrend. Key levels near neckline zones and 2025 extremes remain in focus for H2 reassessment.
