EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1611; (P) 1.1665 (R1) 1.1712;
Intraday bias in EUR/USD remains neutral as consolidation from 1.1509 is still in progress. Stronger rebound could be seen. But we’d expect strong resistance from 1.1822/1995 resistance zone to limit upside and bring fall resumption eventually. On the downside, break of 1.1509 will resume the decline from 1.2555 and target 50% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1447 first. Break will target 61.8% retracement at 1.1186 next.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that 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) 1.1470; (P) 1.1521; (R1) 1.1579;
Intraday bias in EUR/CHF remains neutral at this point as consolidation from 1.1366 is in progress. In case of further recovery, upside should be limited by 38.2% retracement of 1.2004 to 1.1366 at 1.1610 to bring another decline. On the downside, break of 1.1366 will resume the fall from 1.2004 and target next key support zone between 1.1154 and 1.1198.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests solid rejection 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. Deeper fall would be seen to key cluster level at 1.1198 (2016 high), 61.8% retracement of 1.0629 to 1.2004 at 1.1154. We’d expect strong support around there to contain downside and bring rebound.
