1-Hour Chart
- EURUSD price action continues to trade within the range of 1.0920 – 1.0980, a confluence zone of support and resistance levels represented by monthly and annual calculations.
- Last month, December 2023, the price broke and closed above its annual pivot point of 1.0920, a critical level where the price spent an extended time trading around, the most recent EURUSD price decline in January 2024, took the rate back to 1.0920 where it is so far finding support.
- Price action broke out and closed above the upper resistance line of the descending channel (Green line), a throwback to the line took place on Friday with the Non-Farm Payroll release, however, price action found support above the green line and reversed back up.
- A triple bottom formation developed above the breakout and the price broke out again above the resistance line connecting the inverted bases for the bottoms. (Dotted black line)
- Price action is currently attempting an inverted Head and Shoulder formation, which is yet to materialize in full, the neckline lies at the 1.0980 – 1.0990 area which is the high end of the extended trading range, as well as the psychological level of 1.1000, which if penetrated along with price move following the pattern, may lead price action to the upcoming resistance levels. It is also important to remember that pattern failures can be an indication of a potential change in direction.
