EUR/USD Bounce Closing in on Stronger Resistance

The FX Specialist view - The recovery in EUR/USD from a Jun low has turned out impressive, with a second bull leg now well underway. This has started to reach certain interesting resistance levels which the market could find tough to overcome.

• WEEKLY CHART Currently a 3-wave, corrective structure is unfolding in the recovery. On this chart note the current 76.4% 1.4373 level as potential resistance, and note how a former 76.4% level was effective in late 2009.
• DAILY CHART: Recovery through the 1.3333 06-Aug high has now breached the bull channel top projection to test our next technical level at 1.4040, an equality target that extends the Jun/Aug upleg off 24-Aug low. Temporary resistance would not surprise here, but the s/term chart structure remains very positive. Possible stronger resistance is offered by the higher 1.4373 76.4% retracement level. Currently we view the recovery as temporary, within the context of a longer term bear trend. First notable support comes from the 1.3333 06-Aug high but, at this stage, it wouldn’t be until the 1.3000 area was broken that bull momentum could finally be said to have dried up.
