FX.co ★ EUR/USD Invalidated Again, Sell-Off Incoming?

EUR/USD upside received another hit earlier from the eurozone Flash Services PMI and Flash Manufacturing PMI indicators. The poor economic data forced the pair to erase its latest gains.

The pair has come back down, a valid breakdown below 1.18 suggests a further drop. Still, traders await the US data before taking action, better-than-expected data will sustain a bearish scenario.

EUR/USD was rejected by the second warning line (WL2) and by the R2 (1.1957) level, but a larger drop is far from being confirmed. In my vision, EUR/USD will develop a broader corrective phase if the price drops and stabilizes below 1.17 level.

The price plunged again as the USDX edged higher in the last hours. The failure to reach and retest at least the R1 (1.1899) level could announce a short term sell-off.
