EURO USD TO FORM CONSOLIDATION SETUP IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS?
___________________________________________________
The EURO USD may
be in the early stages of forming a Consolidation Setup based on the nature of
the sharp rally that has taken place over the last few days. If we see this
play out over the course of the next few weeks, there may be an opportunity for
us to trade within the boundaries of Support and Resistance until a breakout
takes place.
As we can see in
the chart below, the pair has finally broken the Large Pennant Consolidation
that was formed between 2008 and 2014.
DAILY CHART - PENNANT BREAKOUT
Given the size
of this Consolidation, we should expect this breakout to continue in favour of
the USD for the Medium to Long-Term heading into 2016. However, as we can
appreciate more clearly from the chart below, the EURO has started to rally in
defiance of this overall outlook.
DAILY CHART - BREAK OF INNER TREND LINE
The Inner
Uptrend Line was broken with a pair of Double Bottoms. This has been followed
by a sharp rally that appears to be taking the pair to the Outer Downtrend
Line. If that barrier is hit, the pair could continue even higher towards the
Long-Term Downtrend Line before breaking back inside of the Pennant.
On the other
hand, it could also U-Turn bearish to resume the overall direction of the
Consolidation Breakout at either the Outer or Long-Term Downtrend Line.
DAILY CHART - FORECAST SCENARIOS
Despite the
possibility of a bullish scenario that takes us back inside of the Pennant, the
current strength of the Downtrend makes a bearish U-Turn the more likely
outcome over the next few weeks. Another reason for this bearish outlook has to
do with the nature of the candles that have led to the current rally taking
place. The sharp movement, the small candles and the fact that the reversal
follows a very long trend, are some of the signs of the start of a
Consolidation Setup (Section 4, Part 2).
This means that
we could see a pullback at either of those two Trend Lines to form the 1st
Resistance point of a Consolidation Setup.
DAILY CHART - PROJECTED CONSOLIDATION
If this
materializes, then we will have opportunities to trade between Support and
Resistance until the breakout takes place. We will do this by firstly
determining the time frame that is controlling the signals and then analyze and
trade accordingly for our 100 to 200 Pip Targets.
