There is a minor bullish retracement after a new 19-year low.
My previous EUR/USD signal on 22nd June was not triggered as there was no bearish price action when the price first reached the resistance level which I had identified at $1.0540.

Long Trade Ideas
- Long entry following a bullish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe immediately upon the next touch of $1.0200, $1.0150, $1.0100, or $1.0050.
- Put the stop loss 1 pip below the local swing low.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
In my last analysis of the EUR/USD currency pair more than two weeks ago, I found it very hard to forecast the likely direction of the price. Things have changed a lot since then, especially over the past two days, which have seen the Euro plummet against the USD. The US Dollar is reaching long-term record highs, while EUR/USD has made new 19-year lows two days in a row.
There is a strong bearish trend.
It is significant that the Euro fell strongly again yesterday, even after most other currencies started to perform better against the USD. This suggests a particular weakness in the Euro.
Technically, there is a very strong long-term bearish trend, and the price is trading in blue sky at levels which have not been reached for many years. Volatility is high. These factors suggest that the odds remain with the bears and that we are most likely to see yet lower prices over the coming days.
We are currently seeing a small bullish retracement which is not unusual. The closest key level is support at $1.0200. If this does not hold up, this will be the first sign of another downwards movement on its way.
The only key support levels I see are potentially at half or whole numbers.
I think the best approach here will remain looking for short trades. A reversal at $1.0280 would be an ideal set up but it may be that the quarter-number at $1.0250 could also be a significant level and produce a firm bearish reversal.
I will not take a long trade in this currency pair today.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the EUR or the USD, although there will be releases of EU Economic Forecasts and comments from Fed members later which could cause some price movement.
