  • SUP 1: 1.0272/0141 Low Feb 4 / 3 and the bear trigger., 
  • SUP 2: 1.0138 1.764 proj of the Sep 25 - Oct 23 - Nov 5 price swing
  • SUP 3: 1.0031 2.00 proj of the Sep 25 - Oct 23 - Nov 5 price swing 
  • SUP 4: 0.9947 76.4% of the Sep 28 ‘22 - Jul 18 ’23 bull leg 

A short-term bull theme in EURUSD remains intact and the sharp recovery off lows on Thursday reinforce this set-up. A candle formation on Feb 3 - a hammer - continues to signal a possible reversal. The pair has pierced a key resistance at the 50-day EMA, at 1.0426. A clear breach of the average would strengthen a bullish condition and signal scope for stronger recovery and open 1.0533, the Jan 27 high. Initial firm support lies at 1.0272, the Feb 4 low.
