EUR/USD Mid-Session Technical Analysis for February 9, 2018

The EUR/USD is trading slightly higher shortly before the U.S. opening, but inside the previous day’s range. This tends to indicate investor indecision and impending volatility.

Daily EUR/USD

Daily Technical Analysis

The main trend is down according to the daily swing chart. A trade through 1.2211 will signal a resumption of the downtrend. This is followed closely by another main bottom at 1.2164. A trade through this bottom will reaffirm the downtrend. This could lead to an even steeper sell-off with 1.1915 the next main bottom target.

The main range is 1.1915 to 1.2537. Its retracement zone is $1.2226 to 1.2153. This zone provided support yesterday when the selling stopped at 1.2211.

Inside the main retracement zone is a major 50% level at 1.2166. This price is controlling the longer-term direction of the Euro.

The short-term range is 1.2164 to 1.2537. Its 50% level at 1.2351 is resistance.

Daily Technical Forecast

Based on the early trade, the direction of the EUR/USD is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the steep downtrending Gann angle at 1.2282.

A sustained move under 1.2282 will indicate the presence of sellers. This could drive the Forex pair into 1.2226 then 1.2211.

If 1.2211 fails as support then look for a break into a potential support cluster at 1.2166 to 1.2164. This is followed by another cluster at 1.2153 to 1.2145.

A sustained move over 1.2282 will signal the presence of buyers. This could trigger an acceleration to the upside with 1.2351 the next likely target.
