As of Thursday morning (2/12/2009), price action on EUR/USD has made what amounts to the sixth solid touch of uptrend line support. This uptrend line extends from the low of 1.2330 reached in late October. The price level at which this trendline currently resides, as mentioned in yesterday’s Chart of the Day (click here to view), is in the 1.2750 region. Watch for any strong break and close below this area for further possible bearishness, potentially targeting support in the 1.2550 region.

Hi Vinesh,
Thanks for your question! I usually focus on the technicals alone, only because there are so many fundamental factors that may or may not contribute to the value of a currency. Any fundamental event may have the expected effect on a currency, but it may also have the opposite effect or no effect at all. Therefore, I tend to concentrate on how traders may react to price action. But thanks so much for your question and for visiting this blog!

Yes you are right, a break of the trend line could indicate further downside. However, just as possible is a nice bounce not only off of this trendline (after 6 touches) but also the 76% Fib from recent swing low. Also on weekly chart a bullish piercing pattern has developed with a higher high and higher low on Friday’s doji close. In addition, at G7 in Rome the ECB and Trichet remain more conservative than the US on interest rates and so-called stimulus spending.
Thanks for your comments, RubiconsCross!
