Euro / US Dollar: Short Entry Opens as Prices Reverse at Key Resistance

We noted in our weekly technical outlook report that EURUSD was stalling at resistance near 1.37, an area marked by the upper boundary of a descending triangle bearish reversal setup that has unfolded since August of last year. Current positioning seems to show a (somewhat imperfect) Breakaway candlestick formation. Most importantly, the implications of the pattern remain intact: a long bullish day is followed by a period of waning upward momentum, with the breaking point in sentiment marked a bearish reversal that engulfs the preceding range. We will enter short from here, initially targeting the previous swing bottom at 1.2886 but looking for bearish momentum to extend lower for a test of the double bottom at 1.2456. A stop-loss will be activated on a daily close above 1.3740.
