Interestingly, EURUSD broke the bearish channel to the upside last week, only to reach the 100-day moving average near the 1.01 level (orange line) before sleeping back below parity (1.00) by the Friday close. This is not the most bullish price action in a breakout, to say the least.
Â
In fact, EURUSD could soon be headed even lower again. Yes, the channel was broken, but the slip back below 1.00 indicates the chances of it being a fake-out are pretty high. Moreover, the 100-day moving average held as resistance, which is an important indicator within trends.
Â
EURUSD is now moving down toward the 0.9850 level, which should be the first support zone. It is the confluence of the 55-day moving average (blue line) and the prior swing highs. A bearish break here would reinstate the firm bearish break, and we could see EURUSD go for the 0.97 lows quickly after (which is the next support).
