4-hour timeframe
Overview:
The euro is still observing a buy signal, however a sideways movement is in advance, which is demonstrated by the Bollinger Bands, therefore it is recommended to resume trading up after the correction ends. The formed buy signal is strong and confirmed, since the Chinkou Span fixated above the price graph and the price is above the Ichimoku cloud. Thus, at the moment the first target for the upside movement is 1.4599 – the first resistance level. If this level is passed the second target will be the second resistance level at 1.4713. Upside movement remains while the price is above the Kijun-sen (1.4440), if the price fixates below this line it is recommended to cut long positions. The Chinkou Span is above the price graph, which confirms the current buy signal and indicates bullish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show the ending upside movement, the lines are not diverging and directed sideways, which is also a beginning of the sideways movement. The MACD is ascending, which indicates current upside movement, which is probably limited by the sideways channel.
Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to trade up with target at 1.4599 and further to 1.4713. Stop Loss should be placed below 1.4440. Long positions should be opened after the Bollinger Bands start to diverge to the upside.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
