EURUSD
EURUSD has been trading in a downward channel recently. Looking at the H4 chart from a technical point of view, one can see that the price bounced off the key resistance area yesterday. The sellers appeared at the upper limit of local 1:1 structure, marked with red rectangles on the screen below. Bouncing off the aforementioned resistance confirmed a bearish tilt in the markets. However, if buyers manage to recoup losses and break higher, one should focus on the second geometry which lies at 1.1780 handle. Breaking above this hurdle would hint a bullish trend reversal.

Despite a strong upward move at the beginning of a new week, buyers did not manage to break above the key resistance. Looking at the H4 interval, one can see that the price bounced off the resistance zone near 12,900 pts which is marked with previous price reactions, 50% Fibonacci retracement and the upper limit of 1:1 structure. As long as the price sits below it, continuation of a downward move looks to be a base case scenario. Should the price break above 12,900 pts, the upward move may extend towards the 13,300 pts handle.
