Technically, this week’s rally in the March Euro is
impressive, but it hasn’t changed the trend on the daily chart. This will only
occur when the January 3 top at 1.3085 is violated. In fact, without a
potentially bullish closing price reversal bottom to work with, all this
currency has done up to this point is retrace slightly more than 50 percent of
the break from 1.3085 to 1.2627.
With the main trend down on the daily chart and as the
single currency enters a key retracement zone, traders should be looking for
opportunities to re-enter on the short side. Besides the 50 percent retracement
level, traders should pay particular attention to the 61.8% retracement level
at 1.2911.
In addition, traders should also be watching for a reaction
if the downtrending Gann angle at 1.2921 is tested. This price combined with
the Fibonacci retracement level at 1.2911 could form a tight resistance cluster
today.
