US Dollar Strength Pulls Back, EUR/USD Bounces From Yearly Lows

Talking Points:

- The US Dollar is pulling back after setting another fresh yearly high yesterday morning. Prices have moved back to the Fibonacci level at 96.47, and we’ve seen a bit of short-term support build at prior resistance. The prior swing-low was set earlier this week at 96.17, and as long as price action remains above this level, bullish strategies can remain attractive around the US Dollar.

- Pullbacks are showing across major currency pairs, with EUR/USD showing the potential for short-term strength while GBP/USD is catching a bounce on a Fibonacci retracement taken from the ‘Brexit move’ in the pair. AUD/USD has run into a key zone of confluent Fibonacci support around .7200. This is the same area that turned around bearish advances twice in 2016, and we’re seeing support set in over the past 24 hours after this level came into play again.

US DOLLAR STRENGTH BEGINS TO PULLBACK

The bullish theme in the US Dollar perched up to new highs yesterday morning around the open of the US session.

This level of 96.47 is a key one, as this is the 23.6% level of the same study that helped the US Dollar to find its low in February of this year. The price of 88.26 is the 50% retracement of the 2011-2017 major move, and this level helped the Dollar to turn-around in the middle of Q1

EUR/USD BOUNCES FROM FRESH YEARLY LOWS

A key driver to that topside move in the Greenback has been a deeper breakdown in EUR/USD.  This has pushed EUR/USD down below 1.1300, albeit temporarily, before a bit of buyer support came-in to perch prices higher.

Yesterday produced a Doji as sellers were outnumbered after testing below 1.1300, and this opens the possibility of a deeper retracement after the bearish extension that showed-up to start this week.

On the hourly chart, we can see where buyers have come in to offer a bit of short-term support around prior resistance, and this helps to keep the door open for deeper retracement potential.

On a shorter-term basis, the bounce that we’ve seen over the past 24 hours hasn’t been as convincing as what was seen above in EUR/USD. Prices have not been able to perch up to a short-term higher-high here and thus, we don’t really have a higher-low to work with after prices dug into that Fibonacci support early yesterday morning.

The area around the price of .7200 has a couple of key areas of support, as the 76.4% retracement of the 2008-2011 major move resides at .7205 while the 61.8% retracement of the 2001-2011 major move is at .7185. Perhaps more importantly, this zone helped to provide reversal bounces on two separate occasions in 2016, first in May and then again in December. That second test seemed to really bring out the bulls as prices continued higher for the next year and two months before topping out at 81.25.

Price action in 2018 has brought a far different tone, however, and prices have been on a bee-line lower for much of the period. Yesterday saw prices dig-in a bit of support at this same level, and prices have been bouncing ever since.

On a shorter-term basis, there are two potential areas of resistance that can be worked with in the pair. We had a prior swing of support around .7325, and that had held from late-July up until Friday’s down-side break; and if that doesn’t come into play, there’s a bearish trend-line that current projects around the .7400 handle. Each of these areas keeps the door open for bearish continuation in the pair, and stops can be investigated above the psychological level of .7500.
