EUR/USD Weekly Technical Outlook

EUR/USD's rise from 1.3969 extended further to as high as 1.4624 last week and remained firms. As noted before, pull back from 1.4938 should have completed at 1.3969 already. Initial bias remains on the upside this week for retesting 1.4938 first. Break will confirm up trend resumption for 1.5143 resistance next. On the downside, below 1.4450 minor support will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations before staging another rally. In the bigger picture, EUR/USD is still trading above medium term trend line support from 1.1875 (now at 1.3557) and thus, rise from there should still be in progress. We'd continue to favor the bullish case that correction from 1.6039 has completed with three waves down to 1.1875 already and. Above 1.4938 will target 1.5143 resistance first. Break will affirm the bullish case of long term up trend resumption for another high above 1.6039. However, sustained trading below the mentioned trend line support will indicate that there should at least be one more medium term decline, possibly for below 1.1875, before correction from 1.6039 completes.

In the long term picture, correction from 1.6039 might have completed at 1.1875 already. Meanwhile, up trend from 2000 low of 0.8223 might be resuming. Break of 1.5143 resistance will affirm this case and should pave the wave through 2008 high of 1.6039 to 61.8% projection of 0.8223 to 1.6039 from 1.1875 at 1.6705.
