  • RES 4: 1.0594 Dec 9 ‘24   
  • RES 3: 1.0533 High Jan 27 and a reversal trigger 
  • RES 2: 1.0443 50-day EMA 
  • RES 1: 1.0442 High Feb 5 
  • PRICE: 1.0424 @ 15:52 GMT Feb 5 
  • SUP 1: 1.0272 Low Feb 4
  • 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 

The short-term EUR bullish cycle continued Wednesday, with price action gaining background support from the potential hammer candle formation posted in the reversal on Monday. However, additional reinforcing price evidence is required to signal a turn in the trend. MA studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a downtrend. 1.0386 (pierced) to 1.0443, the area between the 20-and 50-days EMAs, marks an important resistance zone. A clear break of it would be a bullish development.
