Technical Analysis of EUR/USD for August 19, 2021

Technical Market Outlook:

The EUR/USD pair had bounced from the swing low located at the level of 1.1704, but the bounce is very shallow, hit the level of 1.1742 and left an ugly, long upper shadow on H4 time frame candle. The nearest technical resistance is seen at the level of 1.1752 and 1.1760 ( supply zone). The momentum is negative and bears are in full control of the market. The next target for bears is seen at the levels of 1.1655 and 1.1648. Only a sustained breakout above the level of 1.1760 would change the temporary outlook to more bullish.

Trading Outlook:

Despite the recent breakout form the Falling Wedge pattern, the rally did not last for long and the down cycle had been resumed. When this cycle scenario is confirmed by breakout above the level of 1.2000, the up trend can be continued towards the next long-term target located at the level of 1.2350 (high from 06.01.2021). However, for now, the market is control by demand that might push the prices lower towards the key technical support located at 1.1599.
