FX.co ★ EUR/AUD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for May 19, 2014

On March 24, by breaking down 1.5175, the Double Top pattern could not only achieve its projection target at 1.4820-1.4800, but it also confirmed a bigger Head and Shoulders pattern.

The bears managed to break down 1.4950 corresponding to 50% Fibonacci level once before (the nearest support level). This exposed the price level of 1.4750 (61.8% Fibonacci) on March 10.

The bears failed to fixate below 1.4750 on a daily basis previously. This hindered further bearish progression giving some time for a sideway consolidation for retesting of 1.4945 (50% Fibonacci).

Two bullish spikes above 1.4950 (50% Fibonacci level on the daily chart) were executed. However, the bulls fail to pursue the bullish breakout leading to failure of the bullish breakout attempt.

On the other hand, Intraday support level around 1.4850 failed to provide enough support for the pair. Instead, bearish breakdown took place pushing towards 1.4730 (61.8% Fibonacci level) which was broken down as well as depicted on the chart.

Overall, the daily chart suggests bearish tendency especially if the daily candlesticks maintain closures below 1.4700 where successive daily closures are located.

On the other hand, price zone above 1.4530-1.4500 should be watched for bullish price action. This price zone corresponds to previous broken tops which offers a high probability trade at retesting.

Bullish reaction may be expressed to offer a valid BUY entry with stop loss as daily closure below 1.4470.
