EURUSD - Weekly Strategy (18-22 Feb 2013)

Pivot: 1.3305

Recommendation: Long positions above 1.3305 with 1.3425 & 1.3500 as next targets.
Alternative scenario: The downside breakout of 1.3305 will open the way to 1.3180/70 levels.
Comment: With 4 hour MACD crossed  above signal line,and rebound from the weekly support (broken resistance) at 1.3308 last Friday , this scenario suggests more consolidative trading with bullish bias above 1.3305 towards 1.3500 levels, 4 hour close above 1.3520 will confirm short term  bottoming and open the way to 1.3710 levels, But in return , 4 hour close below 1.3305 will reverse risks to the downside and extend the pullback from 1.3710 to 1.3180/1.3070 levels, If seen, I'd expect strong support from 38.2% retracement of 1.2042/1.3710 at 1.3073 and bring rebound to the upside.

Haitham,

Recommendation is: 'Long positions above 1.3305.. ' At the moment  Price Action is stopped at 1.336256 or thereabouts.

Does it mean that we can go LONG as soon as the market opens tonight or wait until PA drops back to 1.3305, which will be a re-test of the Friday's low?

Cheers

I feel very unsure about the movements this coming weeks. I have a feeling that the upside is limited. More prone to believe in the downside, especially if equity markets are unable to break higher from here. But we will see what happens.

Sooner or later, recovery is coming (300/500) pips bullish move, but the problem is,in which level the upward trend will start (resume) !!!

Is it 1.3300 , 1.3180 or 1.3070 levels, It's just a matter of time , this scenario is strongly suggested by the daily chart....

A daily close above 1.3577 will retest - expose - 1.3710  levels..

On the 4 hour chart, a close above 1.3520 will retest - expose - 1.3710 - levels, 4 hour hour close below 1.3305 will delay the bullish move and extend the pullback from 1.3710 towards 1.3180/13070 levels...

Above 1.3710 will suggest that rising from 1.2042 is resuming and target 1.3890 161.8% of 1.3171/1.2042...

Only a daily close below 1.2997-unlikely-will invalid this view and open the way to 1.2660 levels...

According to the daily and the 4 hour chart, we have strong early signs of bottoming at 1.3305, but further confirmation is indeed, on the 4 hour chart we need at least a 4 hour close above 1.3520 followed by a daily close above 1.3577 If seen, the pair will target 1.3890 levels..

On the downside, If 1.3305 fails, buyers will try bottoming around 1.3180 levels , If this level also fails, they will try around 1.3070...

However, as long as the daily close is above 1.2997 , the bullish trend will remain valid with eyes on 1.3890 levels, only a daily close below 1.2997 will completely terminate the bullish trend and bring massive bearish move towards 1.2660 even lower!!!
