Bearish Signs For The Euro

Currencies | Aug 13 2013

By Forex Traders Corner

On August the 2nd we saw the EURUSD rally on the back of the US non-farm payrolls report, with numbers worse than expected, and it has been steadily moving higher towards 1.3385. We notice that we have a divergence developing below with our Awesome oscillator on both the 1 hr and 4 hr charts. This divergence is warning us of a potential reversal on the EURUSD. We have placed a pending sell limit order ahead of the level being reached with a stop above the high of 1.3415 at 1.3435. We believe that this will be a major turning point for the EURUSD.  We look to find support at around 1.3300 and if we can get below this level we could see the rate accelerate to the down side.
 


 

We have been triggered into a short trade on the EURUSD during Friday's trading; we are currently up around 50 pips and approaching our support level at 1.33000. We expect a bounce back up from this point before the down move continues.
 


 

As long as we remain below 1.3415 the potential of a major downwards move remains.
