EURUSD Triangle breakout to rally?

Looking at Euro dollar, although this without doubt has irritated both euro bulls and bears, looking at this chart it does appear the maturity of the trend is becoming more evidently obvious. Looking at the chart below its becoming obvious that bears are slowly making less progress. With upcoming payrolls next friday, we could see this pair have indeed a deeper retracement, possibly with indeed the Trump event being a W2 perform a possible zigzag upwards. This therefore could be limited to the blue, now resistance decending trend line drawn below.

I see your Triangle  and it may have some validity but there aren't enough touches on it for me.  I have something similar on my 4 Hourly and critically a Weekly chart large scale Triangle formation where price is finding resistance just now.  A break below the Mar 2016 lows signals a sustained bearish in a wave 3 of 5 BUT a rally off the lower Triangle line brings up 3 possible rally scenarios as marked:

 

  1. the first is a small retrace as part of the bearish move previously mentioned
  2. the second is a A-E coiling Triangle formation a rejection of the upper triangle line being the harbinger of a sharp bearish move
  3. the third being a classic complex wave 4 retrace after which a classic wave 5 would ensue

In the shorter term the 4 hourly chart suggest a Triangle has already been broken BUT there is near term resistance over head, which could send price back down in a classic 1-2 retrace before a strong move up.  A significant break through the resistance would suggest a stronger move up to a wave A.

 

One would like to see a corresponding situation on DX as the Euro is the largest component of the DX basket.  The DX daily chart does suggest a potential retrace period, current a wave 1-2 retrace pattern is most likely but this could change as the market movement progresses and the EURUSD scenarios play out.

 

In summary then, looking at EURUSD, a breakout out rally suggest several scenarios prior to a resumption of the bear move but a break below the March low is decidedly bearish.  My bias is for the former at present but let's see...

    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
