Technical Analysis – EURUSD creeps sideways under weak momentum

Posted on October 26, 2020 at 8:44 am GMT

EURUSD is stalling around the upper band of the Ichimoku cloud and seems to be adopting a neutral tone, something also reflected in the horizontal 50-day simple moving average (SMAs) and the flattening Ichimoku lines.

Posted on October 22, 2020 at 7:51 am GMT

EURUSD found strong resistance at 1.1879 on Wednesday, but earlier today the pair completed a bullish doji in the four-hour chart, suggesting that there is more strength in store as the price is making efforts to recoup its moderate losses. Still, the weakness in the MACD hints that some caution should be warranted. A break above 1.1880 is expected to immediately stall within the 1.1900-1.1920 area. Moving higher, the next obstacle could occur around 1.1950, while above that, all eyes [..]
