The third trading day of the week promises to be as boring in terms of macroeconomic events and reports as the first two. On Wednesday, May 29, neither in the States nor in Europe is planned any important publication. Meanwhile, the euro currency is on the sly, but fixed back below the moving average line. Thus, the trend for the euro/dollar pair has changed to a downward one against the background of the complete absence of any fundamental information. This speaks, first of all, about the mood of traders. If even without disappointing European statistics or, on the contrary, positive from the US, the euro has been falling for three days in a row, then the mood among traders is definitely bearish. What can we expect from the pair in the future? If there is no loud and strong news that will support the European currency, the EUR/USD will slowly but surely continue to slide to annual lows. Despite the fact that the technical picture between April 26 and May 23 fits perfectly into the "double bottom" pattern, we believe that the chances of overcoming the lows from these dates are much greater than the formation of an uptrend. The EU, by the way, has a new problem, this time with Italy. Rome stubbornly refuses to reduce the size of its own national debt, which is 132% of GDP, which can force Brussels to impose a fine of 3.5 billion euros, as, according to EU rules, the amount of debt cannot exceed 60% of GDP. Such conflicts, which are clearly not out of the blue, may in the future lead to new Exits.
Nearest support levels:
S1 – 1.1139
S2 – 1.1108
S3 – 1.1078
Nearest resistance levels:
R1 – 1.1169
R2 – 1.1200
R3 – 1.1230
Trading recommendations:
The EUR/USD currency pair is fixed below the moving average, which indicates the return of traders to the bearish trend. Thus, sales of the euro with targets at 1.1139 and 1.1108 have now become relevant again.
It is recommended to consider buy orders for the euro/dollar pair only after fixing the price above the moving average with targets at 1.1200 and 1.1230 small lots.
In addition to the technical picture should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
