EUR/USD

Analysis:

The upward movement from January 28 indicates the last unfinished wave structure of the euro chart. Throughout the past week, the pair was moving in the opposite direction along strong resistance, which resembled an extended flat structure. If the price stays within the correction, the current wave will eventually move to a higher time frame. Currently, there are no signals on the chart indicating a trend reversal.

Outlook:

In the coming days, the pair is expected to complete the descending section of the trend. Then it may form a reversal and resume an uptrend. The quote is more likely to reverse at the current support zone.

Potential reversal zones:

Resistance:

- 1.1420/1.1450

Support:

- 1.1350/1.1320

Recommendations:

The quotes have reached the upper boundary of a strong resistance zone on a larger time frame. The downward movement that started yesterday has a reversal potential.
