Oil was flat today at the $77.82 per barrel level while gold was also flat at the $1,239.70 per ounce level.<\/p>\n<p>The EUR\/USD currency pair opened the day near the 1.2414 mark and touched an intraday high at 1.2466 in early morning trading before turning lower to decline below the 1.2350 level in U.S. afternoon trading. The EUR\/USD had held above 1.2350 since last Thursday but has dipped below the 1.2330 level (2008 low point) as of time of writing today. Further declines could signal that we have touched a short-term top in this pair (and risk appetite) from the rebound off of the June 7th lows.<\/p>\n<p>Below 1.2330, the 1.2250 level (recent support), the 1.2150 level (recent support) and the 21-day simple moving  average (1.2218) are areas of potential support while a break below  the 1.2150 level will provide downside pressure for a retest of the  1.1876 level. Further upside advancement could see the 1.2600 area looming as potential resistance. The 1.2600 area has acted as previous support\/resistance area and the 38.2 fibo retracement from 1.3817 to 1.1876 is right around the 1.2620 level.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/countingpips.com\/fx\/forex-charts\/united-states\/eurusd\/\"><strong>EUR\/USD Daily Chart<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10417\" title=\"6-21-forex-eurusd\" src=\"http:\/\/countingpips.com\/fx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/6-21-forex-eurusd2.gif\" alt=\"Forex Trading - US Dollar Euro\" width=\"595\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Levels:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.2620 \u2013 fibo retracement level<br \/>\n1.2580\/1.2600 \u2013 previous support\/resistance<br \/>\n1.2452 \u2013 May 28th resistance<br \/>\n1.2417 \u2013 intraday high 6-18<br \/>\n1.2330 \u2013 2008 low support\/resistance<br \/>\n1.2300 \u2013 support\/resistance<br \/>\n1.2250\/70 \u2013 previous support\/resistance<br \/>\n1.2218 \u2013 21-day moving average<br \/>\n1.2150 \u2013 level (recent support)<br \/>\n1.1876 \u2013 June 7th (4-year low)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EUR\/USD currency pair opened the day near the 1.2414 mark and touched an intraday high at 1.2466 in early morning trading before&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10413\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
