In my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2010\/06\/12\/another-down-move-seen-on-the-euro-june-12-2010\/\">blog  back in June 12<\/a>, I noted that the pair could fall after finding  some resistance at the support of the descending triangle which was also  almost in line with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level that I  marked. Notice, however, that at that time, the stochastics were still  far from the overbought area, giving the pair more room to move higher.  Over the next succeeding days, theeuro indeed continued to rise over the  greenback, surpassing both the 38.2% and 50% Fibs. At present, the fiber  is trading around 1.2400. And with the stochstics now in the overbought  territory, it could soon resume its journey south. The presence of a  bearish divergence, where the price marks lower highs and the  oscillator prints higher highs, also suggest a likely downmove any time  soon.<\/p>\n<p>If the EUR indeed loses its support and falls, it could revisit its  2010 low at 1.1876. On the slightly positive note, a break of the 61.8%  fib and the short term downtrend line could possibly send it back up to  1.3300, giving the euro bulls something to cheer about. While such price  action does not necessarily lead to a bullish reversal, such would  still allow those who are long to close at least part of their positions  at a better price.<\/p>\n<p>On the economic front, several market moving economic reports are due  this week in the euro zone. Germany\u2019s Ifo business climate survey,  which is seen to have cooled a bit to 101.2 from 101.5,\u00a0 and the euro  zone\u2019s current account balance, which is likewise projected to have  lessened a bit to \u20ac1.3 billion from \u20ac1.7 billion, will be on tap  tomorrow (June 22). The latest manufacturing and services PMI from from,  Germany, and the euro zone itself, most of which are expected drop  slightly from their previous readings, will be on deck the next day. So  the anticipated fall from these accounts plus any surprise downside from  the high impact reports from the other nations like Canada\u2019s inflation  and retail sales reports, the US\u2019s home sales and Federal rate decision,  New land\u2019s 1Q GDP report, could fundamentally weaken the euro. On the  flip side,the projected gain from the euro zone\u2019s industrial new orders  (seen to grow by another 1.6%) plus any upside from the reports from the  other major countries could lift the currency again.<\/p>\n<p>More on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a><\/span> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s an updated chart of the fiber or EURUSD pair.
