Friday 4th June 2021: Technical Outlook and Review

EUR/USD:

Looking at the weekly chart, we can see that prices are seeing further limited upside before it reaches our resistance area at 1.22900. On the daily chart, price is testing key support at 1.21200 where we could possibly see some bullish pressure with 1.22900 as our resistance target as well. 

On the H4 timeframe, prices dropped lower and is currently testing daily support at 1.21200. A low probability bullish scenario where we see a bounce above 1.21200 support could be possible with upside target at 1.21794 resistance. However given the bearish momentum, failure to hold above 1.21200 could see price drop further towards 1.20600 support next.

Areas of consideration:

  • Watch for a daily close below 1.21200 support
