EUR/USD: The recent downtrend is likely to continue into the next week.
Some clear signs of a developing downtrend could be seen by the end of the last week. At this point technical indicators showing that this downtrend is likely to continue into the next week. The pair likely will look a little bit oversold below 1.2500 (major technical and psychological support level). It means the chances are we will see a modest rally while to the price resuming its way south. A rally is a brief spike in the price during the downtrend.
The “bigger picture” is bearish at this time. Again, the indicators suggest that the new downtrend is here. Possibility of rising and unstable volatility is still significant during the incoming week.
Range between 1.2600 and 1.2400 is likely for this week – oversold condition below 1.2400 and overbought above 1.2600.
Common indicators should be fairly accurate in pointing to the direction of the price on the hourly or shorter charts.
