- EUR/USD Breaks Out: Analyzing New Channel & Trading Signals
Past performance is not indicative of future results. All historical data, including but not limited to returns, volatility, and other performance metrics, should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance.
EURUSD on a 30-minute timeframe
The EUR/USD on a 30-minute timeframe has been trading in a triangle pattern with reduced volatility. On July 29, we saw a well-anticipated and strong breakout, with the pair falling 50 pips without much hesitation.
Following this, the market transitioned from a trending phase to a consolidation phase, trading within a contained range. We now have an upward-sloping regression channel with well-respected boundaries, as indicated by the red circles on the chart.
From a technical perspective, we are looking for extremes coupled with oscillator confirmation. Price action behaviour is evident when we reach the top or bottom trendline of the channel, and when the stochastic oscillator's main and signal lines cross. If the stochastic is in overbought or oversold territory, it further strengthens the signal.
Since our channel is upward-sloping, potential buy trades are more favorable than sell trades, as the short-term trend appears to be rising. However, considering the longer-term trend indicated by the 200-period simple moving average, the overall trend seems to be downward.
The current potential technical setup favours a mean reversion scenario, where price trades back to the mean. In this case, the mean or potential targets could be the centre line of the channel, the 200-period SMA, or even the opposite trendline of the channel.
Alternatively, if price action breaks below the bottom trendline with conviction, we might see a retest of the 1.08 level. This is a strong psychological barrier and has experienced numerous retests in the past few weeks.
However, keep an eye on upcoming fundamentals and investor sentiment.
