FX.co ★ EUR/USD - Inverted S/H/S bottom signals more upside

Since early September inverted S/H/S formation has been building in EUR/USD. This bottom formation calls for a continuation of the underlying uptrend towards the target level at 1.2076. The way to establish the target of a Shoulder/Head/Shoulder pattern is to measure the distance for the top or bottom of the head to the neckline and add that distance to the breaking-point of the neckline - In the above chart shown with the blue straight line.

We have to stress that this is the measured target and not necessarily the final upside target. We often see larger moves than the measured targets but they are a good guideline of what to expect next and they give us a reference point into the future.

Remember the trend and patience are your friends in the financial markets.
