4-hour timeframe

This image is no longer relevant

Overview:
The euro is still in upside movement, and as a result a new buy signal with target level 1.4826 was formed,the price also managed to pass 2 resistance levels. The formed buy signal is strong and confirmed, since the Chinkou Span fixated above the price graph and the price is above the Ichimoku cloud. Thus, at the moment the first target for the upside movement is 1.4668 – the third resistance level, as the previous two were passed. If this level is passed the second target will be the resistance level of the bigger timeframe at 1.4852. Upside movement remains while the price is above the Kijun-sen (1.4385), if the price fixates below this line it is recommended to cut long positions. The Chinkou Span is above the price graph, which confirms the current buy signal and indicates bullish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show the continuing upside movement, the lines are diverging and directed up. The MACD is ascending, which indicates current upside movement, if the MACD reverses to the downside it will denote the beginning of a correction.

 

 

Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to trade up with target at 1.4668 and further to 1.4852. Stop Loss should be placed below 1.4385 and stretch it up as the Kijun-sen advances. If the MACD reverses to the downside, it is recommended to cut long positions.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
