Technical Update – EUR/USD Breaches 200-Day Moving Average

By Russell Glaser

Yesterday’s closing price for the EUR/USD had significant technical ramifications.

The EUR/USD closed below the rising support line from the November and December lows and finished the day well below the 200-day moving average. The selling of the pair was capped at 1.2970, the November 30th low which is the first support level. A breach below this level would open the door for further declines, with support coming in at the September 6th high at 1.2920, followed by the 61.8% Fib retracement form the June to November move at 1.2800.

The rising support line should now turn into a resistance level. This comes in today at 1.3110. Further resistance is found at the top of the December to January consolidation pattern at 1.3440.
