Euro surged more than 5.3% off the yearly low with a breakout of the 2022 downtrend threatening a larger rally in the days ahead.

Euro Price Chart – EUR/USD Daily
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; EUR/USD on Tradingview
Technical Outlook: In my last Euro Short-term Price Outlook I noted that EUR/USD had, now approaching yearly downtrend resistance into the start of the month / quarter – looking to possible exhaustion / price inflection in the days ahead for guidance.” Indeed prices failed / marked the monthly opening-range highs into confluent resistance at parity early in the month before pulling back. Yesterday’s breach above yearly channel resistance / the October opening-range highs threatens a larger recovery here with Euro attempting to break back above parity today- watch the close.
Euro Price Chart – EUR/USD 240min
Notes: A closer look at Euro price action shows EUR/USD trading within the confines of a short-term ascending pitchfork formation extending off the September / October lows with advance testing the 75% parallel early in US trade. Initial support rests back at the median-line (currently ~9950s) backed by the weekly open at 9871. Short-term bullish invalidation now raised to the monthly open at 9782.
A push higher from here keeps the focus on the 100% extension of the late-September rally / September high-day close at 1.0095-1.0121 with the upper parallel eyed just higher- look for a larger reaction there IF reached. Keep in mind that if the rebound off the 1989 low is simply corrective, the advance would need to be halted at these levels- decision time for the bulls. Ultimately, a breach / close above the September highs at 1.0197 would be needed to suggest a more significant low was registered last month / a larger trend reversal is underway towards the 2016 low / 2016 low-day close at 1.0352/85.

Bottom line: A breakout of yearly downtrend resistance / the October opening-range highs threatens a larger recovery in EUR/USD in the days ahead. From a trading standpoint, losses should be limited to the weekly open IF price is heading higher on this stretch with the immediate focus on a reaction into the 1.01-handle for guidance- a good region to reduce portions of long-exposure / raise protective stops. Keep in mind the ECB rate decision is on tap tomorrow followed by US core inflation data (PCE) on Friday and the FOMC next week – needless to say, expect volatility and stay nimble here.

- We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests EUR/USD prices may continue to rise.
