But we don’t get to make the rules, and just because the breakdown occurred on a Friday doesn’t mean it isn’t valid. It does, however, warrant a more cautious approach if selling the EURUSD this week.
For now, though, as long as the 1.2310/30 area holds as resistance on a daily closing basis (New York 5 pm EST), we will stay bearish. I’ll also be interested in selling a retest of this area as new resistance.
Key support comes in at 1.2160 followed closely by the 1.2090 handle. Keep in mind that we have an ECB rate decision this Thursday at 7:45 am EST followed by the usual presser at 8:30 am EST.
