EUR/USD – Monthly Chart, Fibonacci Profit Target Levels


EUR/USD - Monthly Chart

EUR/USD - Monthly Chart. This is a very long-term view. If you trade from this chart, you will have to be very, very patient. Manage your risk, as always.



EUR/USD move up. Daily Chart view.

EUR/USD has moved up quite a bit since yesterday. Here is the chart analysis I promised. Euro is hitting resistance around the 20-day EMA & the 38.2% Retracement of the move down from A to D. Long is still valid. Traders may want to take some profit here. Place stop at break-even and try for 50% and/or 61.8% Fib. Level(s).


EUR/USD Long - Update

Got out of EUR/USD intial Long trade around 1.2130.  Reduced # of contracts slightly, then got back in (Long) around 1.2111.  The recent COT data suggests that the big players are extremely long the euro.  Also, the Bullish Butterfly pattern identified a few weeks ago is still valid.  Monthly Chart still shows a Gartley pattern. Happy Trading!
