Technical Outlook: In last month’s Euro Short-term Technical Outlook we noted that EUR/USD was, “vulnerable to a test of uptrend support while below 1.1585. From a trading standpoint, losses would need to be limited to the April trendline IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above 1.1616 needed to mark uptrend resumption.” Euro rebounded just ahead of the April trendline days later with a break through 1.1616 on June 25fueling an advance into multi-year uptrend resistance into the start of July. Euro is now off more than 1% from the high and the near-term threat for a larger correction remains below the weekly open at 1.1775.

Notes: A closer look at Euro price action shows EUR/USD trading within the confines of a descending channel extending off the yearly highs. A break below the weekly opening-range today threatens further declines within this formation with initial support objective seen at the 1.618% extension / 2016 high at 1.1609/16 and the April high at 1.1573. Note that the April trendline converges on this threshold next week and a break / close below this slope would be needed to suggest a more significant high was registered last week / a larger reversal is underway- look for a larger reaction there IF reached. Subsequent support rests with the 23.6% retracement of the yearly range at 1.1440.

Initial resistance is eyed with the 78.6% retracement of the 2021 decline at 1.1748 and is backed closely by the objective weekly / monthly open at 1.1775/87– we’ll reserve this threshold as our bearish invalidation levels with a breach above the upper parallel (currently near ~1.1830s) ultimately needed to mark uptrend resumption. Subsequent resistance eyed at the 100% extension of the 2022 advance at 1.1917 and the 1.618% extension of the January rally at 1.1990.

Bottom line: A reversal off uptrend resistance into the monthly open threatens a larger correction here in EUR/USD. From a trading standpoint, losses should be limited to 1.1573 IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above the upper parallel needed to fuel the next major leg of the advance.

Keep in mind we get the release of key U.S. inflation data next week with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on tap Tuesday. Stay nimble into the release and watch the weekly close here for guidance.
