    Technical Note

    The pair drifted to the downside on Tuesday, shedding 61 pips on the day as the dollar resumed control. Momentum is with the dollar on the dailies again into Wednesday and MACD signals a negative downtrend and one which is decreasing in value, also favouring the dollar. The RSI and Stochastic indicators are neutral and allow scope for price movement on either side. The ADX indicator does not signal any real trend, but with the Bollinger trading bands expanding owing to recent downside price pressure, a continuation to the downside on Wednesday is possible. If the dollar does take the pair lower, a break below Tuesday's low of 1.5430 should see the pair decline to test support at the 1.54 line. Any sustained break below 1.54 could trigger a sharper retreat back towards 1.5350, where a convincing break could see the pair decline to test the 2-month low at 1.5287 over the next two sessions.

     

     

     

    If the euro does manage to regain the advantage and the pair does rally to the upside on Wednesday, a break back above 1.55 could see the pair rise to take on Tuesday's high at 1.5565. A sustained break above this level could trigger a rally towards the 1.56 line, a key resistance point, where the pair has stalled twice in the past 10 days.
