EUR USDThe pair neared 50% Fibonacci correction and bearishly reversed due to the effect of the negative signs appearing on momentum indicators. We can expect a base to be built on 1.2565 that represents the previously broken 38.2% Fibonacci correction that has currently turned into support, where it meets with SMA50. This makes us expect the overall bullish trend for this week; targeting 1.2780 then towards 1.3000, requiring mainly the daily closing to be above 1.2470.

Momentum indicators are showing oversold signs, thereby making us expect a bullish trend for this week; targeting primarily reaching 1.5220 then attempting to breach it to pave the way towards more ascending movement, reaching 1.5360 as a key second target. The daily closing below 1.4960 will weaken chances of achieving the expected bullish trend.
