Daily Chart analysis EUR/USD

Monday, January 19, 2009

Looking at the Daily FX EUR/USD chart, this pair closed the week at an interesting level: almost precisely at the 0.618 retracement level for the move from the 1.2335 low to the 1.4700+ recent high. That 1.4700 recent high, in turn was a 0.618 retracement from the 1.6000+ high to the 1.2335 low, so there seems to be a focus on the Fibo levels here. As well, last week saw the pair finding support ahead of the round 1.3000 level, a break of which will be the key focus if we are to resume the downtrend. The 200-week moving average may also be a focus and comes in around 1.3375 at present.
