EUR/USD. June 25th. We continue to rest and adjust

On Monday, the EUR/USD pair continued to rise after the second rebound from the corrective level of 76.4%-1.0676. The pair consolidated above the Fibonacci level of 61.8%-1.0722, which suggests further growth towards the next corrective level of 50.0%-1.0760. A rebound from this level will favor the US dollar and initiate a decline towards 1.0722. Consolidation above the 1.0760 level will increase the likelihood of continued growth towards the resistance zone of 1.0785–1.0797.

The wave situation remains clear. The last completed upward wave was very weak and failed to break the peak of the previous wave. The last downward wave (which may still need to be completed) failed to break the low of the previous wave. Thus, the "bearish" trend persists, but the first sign of a trend change to "bullish" could appear soon. This sign would be breaking the peak of the last upward wave from June 18th. If this does not happen, I expect a return to the 1.0676 level.

The news background on Monday was extremely weak, but the bulls used this day to their advantage. Since the bears had no "fuel" for new sales, they took a pause, which the bulls capitalized on. This week, the bulls will generally have better conditions for work, as the news background is mostly weak or absent. Therefore, I expect the pair to continue rising to the 1.0760 level. From this level, a rebound is highly likely, but the price may also "prick" the last peak. After this, the decline may resume, confirming the price's presence in a horizontal corridor. The target will again be the 1.0676 level. In the slightly longer term, I expect the European currency to resume its decline, as I believe the factor of the beginning of monetary policy easing in the Eurozone will be substantial support for the bears.EUR/USD.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair performed a new reversal in favor of the euro after forming a "bullish" divergence on the CCI indicator. The quotes returned to the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 1.0714, but I still do not believe in prolonged euro growth. On the 4-hour chart, a week ago, there was a closing below the trend line, which changed traders' sentiment to "bearish." Thus, I expect a minor (in strength) correction, followed by a resumption of the "bearish" trend. I recommend using levels from the hourly chart now.

Commitments of Traders (COT) report:

EUR/USD. June 25th. We continue to rest and adjust

During the last reporting week, speculators closed 16,233 long positions and opened 19,460 short positions. The sentiment of the "Non-commercial" group turned "bearish" a few weeks ago and is currently only getting stronger. The total number of long positions held by speculators is now 171,000, while the number of short positions is 163,000. The gap continues to narrow.

The situation will continue to change in favor of the bears. I do not see long-term reasons to buy the euro, as the ECB has begun easing monetary policy, which will reduce the yield on bank deposits and government bonds. In the US, they will remain at a high level for several more months at least, making the dollar more attractive to investors. The potential for the euro to decline is significant, even according to the COT reports. If there is still a bullish sentiment among major players and the euro is falling, where will the euro be when the sentiment turns bearish?

News Calendar for the US and Eurozone:
