The rise is still capped by 1.2190

  • EUR / USD extends the bounce near 1.2150.
  • Immediately to the upside is the 1.2170 region as the next target.

EUR / USD manages to rally above the 1.2100 level on Thursday. The move meets the initial hurdle at the 55-day SMA near 1.2150.

Higher up is minor resistance near 1.2170, where a Fibonacci level and weekly highs converge. A break out of this area could lead to a likely visit to the weekly highs near 1.2190 (Jan 22). Selling pressure is expected to ease above the latter level, allowing a possible test of the yearly highs in the 1.2350 area.

In the bigger picture, the constructive stance in EUR / USD remains unchanged as long as it remains above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.1750.

Looking at the monthly chart, the (solid) breakout of the 2008-2020 line is a big bullish event and should support the continuation of the current long-term trend.
