EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1629; (P) 1.1651 (R1) 1.1682;
No change in EUR/USD’s outlook as consolidation from 1.1507 continues. In case of stronger recovery, upside should be limited by 1.1851 resistance to bring fall resumption eventually. The larger decline from 1.2555 is expected to resume sooner or later. Firm break of 1.1507 will target 50% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1447 and then 61.8% retracement at 1.1186.
In the bigger picture, EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. And, a medium term top was formed at 1.2555 already. Decline from there should extend further to 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186 and below. For now, even in case of rebound, we won’t consider the fall from 1.2555 as finished as long as 1.1995 resistance holds.
EUR/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1557; (P) 1.1572; (R1) 1.1586;
Intraday bias in EUR/CHF remains neutral at this point. Considering the structure of price actions from 1.1478, another fall is mildly in favor. Break of 1.1478 will urn bias to the downside for 1.1366 first. Break will resume the corrective fall from 1.2004. On the upside, above 1.1656 will resume the rebound from 1.1366 to 61.8% retracement of 1.2004 to 1.1366 at 1.1760. But we would expect strong resistance from there to limit upside.
In the bigger picture, EUR/CHF was solidly rejected by prior SNB imposed floor at 1.2000. Considering bearish divergence condition in daily and weekly MACD, 1.2004 should be a medium term top. And price action from 1.2004 is correcting the up trend from 1.0629. Such correction is expected to extend for a while and therefore, we’re not anticipating a break of 1.2004 in near term. Another decline cannot be ruled out yet. But in that case, strong support should be seen at 1.1198 (2016 high), 61.8% retracement of 1.0629 to 1.2004 at 1.1154 to contain downside.
