here<\/a>). Back then, I asked if the euro bulls are back in play since the EURUSD had just broken out from an inverted head and shoulders. Indeed the pair continued to rise after the breakout. Though, if you look at today\u2019s chart, you will notice that it is dangerously approaching the long term downtrend line. Now, the pair would most likely experience a lot of selling pressure in that level and it could once again dip if it\u2019s not successful in moving past the mentioned resistance. If the pair manages to break above the downtrend line, it could easily reach for its upside target around 1.3000, which is computed by projecting the height of the inverted head and shoulders from the point of breakout. But if the resistance holds, its obvious support would be the neckline of the said pattern.<\/p>\nThe euro\u2019s rise came as a surprise since it happened following a disappointing US Ism manufacturing PMI. As I\u2019ve mentioned previously, downbeat economic data from the major economies usually causes risk aversion which normally leads investors back to the safety of the USD. In any case, the euro continued to swing higher due to the impressive gains in the global equities markets. The Stoxx 50, for one, surged by 2.16% yesterday.<\/p>\n
