Bearish below 1.0964 The spot failed to take out 1.0964 (50% Fib of Mar-May rally). The Fib resistance almost coincides with 1.0963 (76.4% of May-June rally). The daily chart also shows repeated failure to take out 1.0964, after having closed below the same on July 15th. The spot also struggled to sustain above 10-DMA located at 1.0941. The daily RSI too is...

The FX markets have been dull so far this week as we lacked a major fundamental trigger out of the Europe and US.

The EUR/USD clocked a high of 1.0878, before turning lower 1.0857. An hourly close below 1.0869 could open doors for a sell-off to 1.0811-1.08, under which the pair could drop to 1.07985. The current candle on the hourly chart also represents the failure to take out the hourly 100-MA currently located at 1.0872. I prefer entering short around 1.0860 for target...
