Buying above 0.80 could face selling around 0.8030/10
Coming at you from the top this morning, weekly action is seen trading within shouting distance of a weekly resistance level plotted at 0.8065.This is a well-established level, going back as far as early 2010. Turning our attention to the daily candles, nevertheless, price remains sandwiched between a daily Quasimodo resistance at 0.8035 and a daily support area at 0.7986-0.7951.
Over on the H4 timeframe, we can see that the large psychological level 0.80 remains in the limelight. Stop-loss orders have likely been well and truly mutilated above this number in recent days, so we don’t believe there is a whole lot of selling interest around this neighborhood for the time being.
Market direction:
While 0.80 may be weak, directly above we see a lot of wood to chop through between 0.8030/10 (circled in green). This, we believe, was caused by daily sellers from the aforementioned daily Quasimodo resistance level. Therefore, breakout buyers above 0.80 may want to prepare themselves for a bit of drawdown!
In view of how tight structure is in this market right now, opting to stand on the sidelines might be the better path to take today.
