FX.co ★ Technical analysis of EUR/USD for January 21, 2016

Overall, EUR/USD has been moving sideways ranging from 1.0800 to 1.0950 without any clear signs of direction. However, the recent channel breakout to the upside could indicate that the price is finally ready to move higher.

The Fibonacci applied to the channel breakout point shows that S1 support level (1.0860) has been rejected, while R2 resistance (1.0950) has been broken. That could lead to the EUR/USD pair growth towards one of the resistance levels, either R3 (1.1000) or R4 (1.1090).

Consider buying EUR/USD while the price remains near S1 support, with the first target at R3 and second at R4. The stop loss should be just below the S2 support (1.0800).

Support: 1.0860, 1.0800

Resistance: 1.0900, 1.0950, 1.1000, 1.1090
