Technical analysis of EUR/USD for January 19, 2023

Overview :

The EUR/USD pair will continue to rise from the level of 1.0725. The support is found at the level of 1.0725, which represents the 61.2% Fibonacci retracement level in the hourly chart.

Slightly bullish trend on the EUR/USD pair. It is difficult to advise a trading direction under these conditions. The first resistance is located at the price of 1.0874.

The Euro remained above the levels of 1.0725 and 1.0788, not far from the key 1.0874 evenness mark as more data is pointing out that a recession is looming. Final PMI figures confirmed the Euro Area private sector activity contracted for the first time since last week.

Intraday bias in the EUR/USD pair remains upwards for the moment. The first support is located at 1.0788. It could stay away while waiting for a more pronounced price movement on this instrument.

A new analysis could then be produced that would give clearer signals. The price is likely to form a double bottom.

Today, the major support is seen at 1.0725, while immediate resistance is seen at 1.0874. Accordingly, the EUR/USD pair is showing signs of strength following a breakout of a high at 1.0874.

Range trading continues in the EUR/USD pair and intraday bias stays upwards at this point. So, buy above the level of 1.0788 with the first target at 1.0874 in order to test the daily resistance 1 and move further to 1.0920.

Also, the level of 1.0920 is a good place to take profit because it will form a new double top.

Amid the previous events, the pair is still in an uptrend; for that we expect the EUR/USD pair to climb from 1.0725 to 1.0874 today.

At the same time, in case a reversal takes place and the EUR/USD pair breaks through the support level of 1.0725, a further decline to 1.0678 can occur, which would indicate a bearish market. Technical indicators (RSI) are indecisive in the very short term but do not change the general bullish opinion of this analysis.
