EUR/USD Forex Signal: Weak Bullish Retracement

Support at $1,0899 looks pivotal today.

My previous EUR/USD signal on 22^nd June was not triggered, as there was no bullish price action when the price first reached the support level identified at $1.0963.

Risk 0.75%.

Trades must be entered before 5pm London time today.

• Short entry following a bearish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe immediately upon the next touch of $1.0963 or $1.1029.
• Put the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.
• Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.
• Take off 50% of the position as profit when the price reaches 50 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to run.

• Long entry following a bullish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe immediately upon the next touch of $1.0899, $1.0871, or $1.0848.
• Put the stop loss 1 pip below the local swing low.
• Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.
• Take off 50% of the position as profit when the price reaches 20 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to run.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

In my previous analysis of the EUR/USD currency pair last Thursday, I wrote that the technical picture was looking more bullish, but also noted that the price had got close to the big round number at $1.1000 which recently acted as an area of strong resistance. Therefore, I thought there could be an opportunity either long or short – I was not sure which – from reversals at either $1.1029 or $1.0963.

The price reached the lower level but continued falling with no bounce, so this was not a great call, but it was at least enough to prevent any losing trades.

The technical picture now is less bullish after we saw a move down from the $1.1000 area over recent days and a stronger US Dollar. However, since bouncing at the support level at $1.0848, the price has been ascending weakly in what looks like a bullish retracement – the impulsive movement seems to be downwards.

The price is now rising weakly from the support level at $1.0899 which is very confluent with a round number, and there are two further support levels quite close below that, suggesting the line of least resistance is upwards.

I think that if the price again rejects $1.0899 bullishly after the London open, there could be a long scalping opportunity here, but the price is unlikely to move much today as it seems set to be a very quiet Monday.

There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the EUR or the USD.
