FX.co ★ Technical analysis on EUR/USD for September 29, 2023

Overview:

The EUR/USD pair steadies near 1.0571 after USD slide. The EUR/USD pair reached a peak of 1.0571 following the release of a weak ISM Services PMI report from the US. The EUR/USD pair is currently hovering near the 1.0571 level, unchanged for the day. The EUR/USD pair trades with modest losses, not far above the two-week low posted last week at 1.0636.

Technical readings in the daily chart favor a downward extension as a bearish 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) heads south below a flat 100 SMA, both above the current level. Also, the pair remains above a critical static support level, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 2023 yearly slump at 1.0682.

Finally, technical indicators remain within positive levels, with neutral-to-bullish slopes. The EUR/USD pair broke resistance which turned to strong support at the level of 1.0682 yesterday. The level of 1.0682 coincides with 23.6% of Fibonacci, which is expected to act as major support today.

Since the trend is above the 23.6% Fibonacci level, the market is still in an uptrend. From this point, the EUR/USD pair is continuing in a bullish trend from the new support of 1.0682. Currently, the price is in a bullish channel. According to the previous events, we expect the EUR/USD pair to move between 1.0682 and 1.0789.

On the H1 chart, resistance is seen at the levels of 1.0757 and 1.0789. Also, it should be noticed that, the level of 1.0734 represents the daily pivot point. Therefore, strong support will be formed at the level of 1.0682 providing a clear signal to buy with the targets seen at 1.0734.

If the trend breaks the support at 1.0734 (first resistance) the pair will move upwards continuing the development of the bullish trend to the level 1.0789 in order to test the daily resistance 2. However, stop loss is to be placed below the level of 1.0636 - last bearish wave. The EUR/USD pair continues to move upwards from the level of 1.0687.

The pair rose from the level of 1.0687 (the level of 1.0687 coincides with a ratio of 0% Fibonacci retracement - last bearish wave) to a top around 1.0754. Today, the first support level is seen at 1.0687 followed by 1.0600, while daily resistance 1 is seen at 1.0785.

According to the previous events, the EUR/USD pair is still moving between the levels of 1.0687 and 1.0785; for that we expect a range of 98pips (1.0785 - 1.0687). On the one-hour chart, immediate resistance is seen at 1.0785, which coincides with a ratio of 50% Fibonacci retracement - the first bullish wave.

Currently, the price is moving in a bullish channel. This is confirmed by the RSI indicator signaling that we are still in a bullish trending market. The price is still above the moving average (100) and (50).

Therefore, if the trend is able to break out through the first resistance level of 1.0785, we should see the pair climbing towards the daily resistance at 1.0808 to test it. It would also be wise to consider where to place stop loss; this should be set below the second support of 1.0687.
