The U.S. dollar extended gains, shifting very short-term momentum back
in its favor.
At the same time, EURUSD broke below the important technical support
and reached an area where sellers may start losing control. This puts
both markets at an inflection point, where the next few sessions
should clarify direction.
USD Index (DX.F) – Strength Meets Resistance
Let’s start with the dollar. As discussed in the Lab Note #61,
the USD broke above the first resistance zone, opening the door toward
the next resistance area created by the
upper border of the rising black channel, the 50% retracement of the
entire decline that started in late November, and the 78.6%
retracement of the full December drop.
So far, bulls have tried twice to push through this zone, and twice
sellers stepped in, especially around the 99.00 area, keeping the
price capped.
At the same time, momentum indicators have moved into overbought
territory, increasing the risk of sell signals appearing soon. When
overbought conditions align with strong resistance, it often warns
that a short-term reversal and pullback may be close.
If sellers regain control and close the day under the upper line of
the channel, their first downside target will likely be the previously
broken area around 98.53. A clean break below that level could expose
98.26, and potentially even a move toward the lower border of the
mentioned channel.
In short: the dollar is getting stronger but reached into a zone where
bulls need to prove they still have fuel.
EURUSD – Pressure Builds, But Exhaustion Is Showing
In Lab Note #57, we wrote the following:
“(…) BUT (a word of caution) … daily indicators
are already flashing:
– bearish divergence
– sell signals
So, while momentum isn’t dead – risk is rising.
Therefore, if EUR/USD closes the day back below the orange
consolidation, sellers will likely go hunting again.
Their first mission?
Re-test bulls’ determination to defend the black rising
channel.”
From today’s perspective, we see that scenario played out and bears not only pushed price back to the channel boundary,
but they successfully closed the day below it, triggering
follow-through selling.
Additionally, the subsequent breakdown verification attracted even
more bears, driving EURUSD into the 50% Fibonacci retracement and a
green support zone built on early-December lows.
At the same time, momentum indicators have now dropped into oversold
territory, which combined with the dollar stalling near resistance,
creates conditions where a countermove or short-term reversal becomes
increasingly likely.
IF bulls step in, their first upside target would likely be the
previously broken upper line of the black channel – currently around
1.1732.
This doesn’t mean a very short-term trend change yet, but it
does suggest that downside momentum may be losing steam.
Lab Takeaway – What to Do Right Now
USD: strength remains intact, but price is now pressing into a heavy
resistance zone. Chasing longs here carries increasing risk – watch
for either a clean breakout or a confirmed rejection.
EURUSD: bears are still in control structurally, but oversold
conditions and USD resistance suggest a pause or bounce is possible.
Action plan: this is a wait-for-confirmation environment. Let the
price show its hand before committing – reactions around resistance
(USD) and support (EURUSD) will set the tone for early next week.
Stay sharp, stay tactical, and have a wonderful weekend!
