EUR/USD Intraday Technical Analysis

The spot rate broke the intermediate resistance of its short-term bearish channel at 1.2270 leading to acceleration. A pull back is expected before reach of the upper limit of its channel - 1.2340. Moreover, the lowest point of Friday is a retracement of 64.8% of the rise between August 2 and 5, supporting the assumption of a pull back. However, a break through these levels will release good potential and reach the lower limit of its channel - 1.2230.

Technical indicators do not provide clear signals supporting the assumption of a pull back. Bollinger bands have greatly tightened in recent days showing a decline in volatility and the imminence of a violent movement.

If the spot rate tests its support, then we recommend 2 scenarios: the first one is the hypothesis of a pull back, then we recommend a buy at 1.2270 with the 1st objective at 1.2340, and further at 1.2360. A puncture of 1.2210 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is complementary of the first because it’s a “buy stop” when the spot rate will break the upper limit of its channel. We recommend to buy the spot rate as soon as it has broken through its resistance of 1.2340 with the 1st objective at 1.2400 and then at 1.2420. A breaking through 1.2320 will invalidate this scenario.

EUR/USD Intraday Technical Analysis

http://forex-images.instaforex.com/userfiles/20120814/eurjpy1.png

The spot rate tested this week the upper limit of its medium term bearish channel at 1.2390 and declined. It is testing now the intermediate support of this one at 1.2260 and seems to initiate a rebound. However, a break of these levels would release a significant potential and enable the lower limit of its channel at 1.2210.

Technical indicators do not provide clear signal but until the support is not broken, the assumption of a rebound is most likely. Bollinger bands have greatly tightened in recent days showing a decline in volatility and the imminence of a violent movement. Moreover, the inferior band strengthens the intermediate support of its channel suggesting a more violent movement in case of break.

The spot rate tests its support that is why we recommend 2 scenarios: the first one is the hypothesis of a rebound. In this case we recommend a buy on the level of 1.2260 with the 1st objective at 1.2320 and then at 1.2340. A break through 1.2240 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is the hypothesis of a break of its support, here we recommend a “sell stop”. We suggest to sell the spot rate as soon as it is broken through its support of 1.2260 with the 1st objective at 1.2200 and then at 1.2180. A breakthrough 1.2280 will invalidate this scenario. http://instaforex.com/articles/ analysis - at instaforex.com

 

EUR/USD Intraday Technical Levels for August 17, 2012

Strong Resistance: 1.2410.

Original Resistance: 1.2398.

Inner Sell Area: 1.2386.

Target Inner Area: 1.2357.

Inner Buy Area: 1.2328.

Original Support: 1.2316.

Strong Support: 1.2304.

Breakout SELL Level: 1.2297.

DESCRIPTION:

At the moment EUR/USD has support and resistance at 1.2316 and 1.2398 and is accompanied by strong support at 1.2304 and by 1.2410 as strong resistance.

If EUR/USD breaks out and closes below a 1.2297-level today, then this will indicate considerable bearish strength, while if EUR/USD manages to break out and close above a 1.2417-level, then this will denote high bullish strength. Alternatively for advance traders, you can trade in a way to open a BUY position at the level of 1.2328 and at 1.2386 – a SELL position, in this case both targets should be located at the level of 1.2357.
