Euro will most likely break the 80 level AFTER 2015.75 moving into the 2017. Could see August as a reaction high on a closing basis.

The Reaction in the Euro

The reaction rally in the Euro appears to be on schedule. The March low at 104.58 held during April so at the very least that implies a 2 to 3 month reaction rally. Bank dealing desks reported to us that their trading lines have been cut. We previously reported that we suspect the ECB has asked behind the curtain for the banks to stop selling the Euro. Liquidity has dried up even in the bond markets and this is not a good sign for the fall warning that we may see high volatility after the ECM turning point.

Weekly Bullish Reversals begin at 114.50 and 115.35. A weekly closing above this area should spark a rally back to retest the more important resistance forming in the 120.00 followed by the 125.00-126.00 area. We also have technical resistance in the 118.00 area during May.

Those looking to convert from Euros to dollars should wait for just now since we have completed a 10 month correction holding the primary support at the 10300 level. Yes, the Euro will most likely break the 80 level. However, that is unlikely to unfold until AFTER 2015.75 moving into the 2017 time period. This type of a reaction should shift the general view of the Euro back to a positive position briefly.




We still see June is where higher volatility should start and keep in mind that the main turning point in still the September time period lining up with the ECM (9/20-10/1). We could see August as a reaction high on a closing basis.

Technically, the Euro fell below the Uptrend Line intraday, but has held above this technical support on a monthly closing basis. We have remained within the Breakline Channel so everything is still within a normal trading range with nothing unusual unfolding so far.
