EURUSD is flirting with the top of the "no-fly zone" and has put in a top just shy of the Monthly M4, the predicted high for the month.

Price rejected the 1.15800 level, or 20 pips shy of the 1.16000 even handle which isn't a surprise, and has subsequently retraced back down to previous minor S&R together with dynamic support found in the 1HR 55-EMA.

Observations at this minor support level:

  • Stochastics are well into oversold territory and have turned back up into the trade zone
  • 14-period RSI has broken down through the upwards trendline, suggesting one last push up before a reversal
  • 5-period RSI is well into oversold territory, suggesting short term bullish bias considering the longer term up-trend
  • Price falling back to the 55-EMA suggests a double top at previous resistance
  • DXY has found support at 94.50 (Weekly M1, Monthly S1)

Mr. Draghi's ECB monetary policy statement is due tomorrow (Thursday 20th July), and I wouldn't be surprised to see price back at the 1.15800 level before selling off on his comments.

Risks to this trade: Continued USD weakness and potential ECB tightening of policy, although with Eurozone inflation softening to 1.3% ahead of the ECB meeting and a strengthening Euro, can the ECB really start to tighten policy?
Comment:
Decent building permits (1.25m vs 1.20m expected) and housing starts (1.22m vs 1.16m expected) out of the US this afternoon has slowed the rise.

If we can break above 1.15350 then we should be clear up to 1.15800-1.16000.
