EUR/USD Forex Signal - 26 January 2015

By Adam Lemon

Adam Lemon began his role at DailyForex in 2013 when he was brought in as an in-house Chief Analyst. Adam trades Forex, stocks and other instruments in his own account. Adam believes that it is very possible for retail traders/investors to secure a positive return over time provided they limit their risks, follow trends, and persevere through short-term losing streaks – provided only reputable brokerages are used. He has previously worked within financial markets over a 12-year period, including 6 years with Merrill Lynch.

EUR/USD Signal Update

There are no outstanding signals. Any traders short from the 1.1650 area or above would do well to be taking in at least some profit, if they have not done so already.

EUR/USD Analysis

I wrote in last Thursday’s analysis that if the ECB were to announce a QE program beyond what the market was expecting, this pair would be likely to resume its downtrend. This is exactly what happened, with the pair falling strongly Thursday night and Friday morning, before pulling back fairly sharply. Yesterday’s Greek election result drove the price down just below 1.1100, which was another 11 year high, although it has recovered by more than 100 pips. These are quite strong moves, but the pair will probably settle now.

As the moves were so wide, it is a little hard to predict exact likely turning points, but the nearest resistance could be expected roughly confluent with the whole round number above us at 1.1300.

EURUSD 12615

There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today concerning the USD, but at 9am London time there will be a release of German IFO Business Climate data, which may affect the EUR.
