EUR Breakout|Reflationary trend[exports driven]|2021 Double-Dip?

FX:EURUSD   Euro / U.S. Dollar
Short idea, few things to keep an eye on.

It seems that the EUR is conforming a breakout on the monthly. A decent sign for the recovery of the global economy for 2021, as exporting nations are given the advantage of bouncing back post-covid. However, I do not think that the Euro will sustain above the 2018 highs of 1.25 in 2021 for few reasons.

-> The EU southern states are tourism reliant, and very doubtful that the leisure sector will recover as fast, hence increasingly more stimulus will be needed to sustain these economies. A stronger euro would even further hurt the potential to recover.

-> Post-covid, supply chains are likely going to be disrupted for the long-term, affecting EU exports and further increasing the likelihood of a double dip in 2021.

-> Even though Biden is likely to take a lighter stances on tariffs, it certainly won't be the same as Obama's approach to Globalism, i.e some of Trumps policies are likely to stay.

-> Very unlikely that Dems get a trifecta by taking control of the senate in January, so the levels of stimulus as well as tax amendments won't be as high as currently expected. Overall, dollar bullish.

-> Merkel leaves in 2021, unlike the US, the transition will be orderly, however policies are likely to change, further impacting FX volatility.

-> DXY(EUR > 50% typically) is also pointing out to a weaker dollar, initially at the start of 2021.

This is it for EURUSD, the rest is demonstrated on the chart. The reason I am not long, despite the chart suggesting a bullish trend, is because of the 2021 double dip potential, which is the necessary retest for me to turn bullish on the Euro for 2021-2024. So, let's see how it all turns out in 2021.
