Here we have a VALID BEARISH PENNANT formed on FX:EURUSD. This type of pattern is usually formed after a strong selloff, where after the strong bearish move, some sellers are taking profits while others are joining with the downside move. This eventually leads to a consolidation that is presented in the form of a BEARISH PENNANT. Do keep in mind that this is a CONTINUATION PATTERN and therefore we expect further downside move AFTER getting a valid breakout.
NOTE #1: If we get a break and close above 61.8% Fib level for XA leg, than that would be the 1st signal for this patterns invalidation. The 2nd or the main signal would be a break and close above the X point of the pennant. Also a break and close above 50 MA would add extra confirmation to the patterns invalidation.
NOTE #2: A breakout to the downside would be MORE favourable if we get a break and close below the 61.8% Fib level for BC leg. That would confirm a further expected downside move, potentially up to the target.

UPDATE #3: Hello everyone, market has broken and closed below the 61.8% Fib level for the BC leg, we can sell on the retest of either the 61.8% level or on the retest of pennant's lower part :)

Hey mate, actually no. This was a short trade and I was waiting for breakout to the downside, instead we 1st got a false breakout to the upside. Falling into this trap was avoided by waiting for a close either above X point of the pennant or the 50 ma. We did get a close above the X point, so in a sense you can call this an invalid pennant pattern now. So our entry never got triggered because we never got the breakout to the downside until now. If you want you still can sell it on the retest of 61.8% or the pennant lower part. Hope this make sense, let me know if you any further questions. All the BEST :)
