EU Market Review 11th May 2021

by Elina Nikolova

EURUSD traded at a high 1.2178 price area, above the important resistance level of Fibonacci Extension at 1.2164 price. Following that, the price failed to close above that level due to the dollar stabilizing and driven primarily by commodity prices. The price action is currently hovering below the 1.2150 resistance level. The Stochastic RSI indicator is out of the oversold area above the 20 line showing there is still fuel in the tank for the Euro.

A break and closing of the price above the Fibonacci 1.618 extension level may allow the price to rally higher. Important resistance points at 1.2243, 1.2350 formed by previously formed tops, and 1,2449 Fibonacci 2.618 extension level. A break below the tentative trendline formed from the March 31st bottom may signal a reversal of the bull-trend. Important support found at 1.1990 inside support level, at 0.618 Fibonacci level at price 1.1880 and at price 1.1704 formed from the previous March 31st bottom.
