My previous EUR/USD signal on 12th March was not triggered as the bullish price action took place below the support level which I had identified at $1.0914.

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 previous analysis of the EUR/USD currency pair two weeks ago, I wrote that the real question seemed to be whether the $1.0900 area would hold now. If the price broke below $1.0900 it looked likely fall to at least $1.0867.
I thought that a short trade from $1.0945 was also a potential setup worth looking out for.
This was a good call as both these levels held over the day.
The technical picture now looks much more uncertain, with the only features on the chart worth noting being:
- The upper descending trend line, which will soon be confluent with the horizontal resistance level at $1.0920.
- The fact there are several support and resistance levels close by suggest ranging behaviour and a proneness to reversals.
The best approach I can see working here today would be to look for a long scalp from a bounce off the support at $1.0832 or a short scalp from a bounce off the resistance at $1.0855.
In the unlikely even that the price reaches $1.0920 today, that could be a great entry point for a short swing trade if we start to see a bearish reversal from that level.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 1pm London time. There is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning the EUR.
