The Weekly EURUSD chart

- This week’s candlestick on the weekly EURUSD Forex chart was an inside bear doji closing in its upper half with a prominent tail below.
- Last week, we said that traders would see if the bears could create a breakout with follow-through selling or if the market would stall around the November 22 low area and trade higher instead.
- So far, there is no breakout below the November 22 low yet.
- The bears got a second leg sideways to down to retest the recent extreme low (Nov 22) after the pullback.
- They want a strong breakout and a measured move based on the height of the trading range.
- They want another strong leg down completing the wedge pattern (the first two legs being Oct 23 and Nov 22).
- If the market trades higher, they want a double top bear flag with the December 6 high.
- The bulls see the move to the November 22 low as a sell vacuum and a bear leg within a trading range.
- They see the move to the December 20 low as a retest of the prior leg’s extreme low.
- They want a failed breakout and the trading range low to act as support followed by a retest of the middle of the trading range.
- They want a reversal from a large double bottom bull flag (Oct 3 and Nov 22), a higher low major trend reversal and a small double bottom (Nov 22 and Dec 20).
- They must create consecutive bull bars closing near their highs to indicate that they are back in control.
- Since this week’s candlestick is an inside doji bar, the market is in breakout mode.
- The bulls want a breakout above, while the bears want a breakout below the inside bar.
- The first breakout can fail 50% of the time.
- For now, traders will see if the bears can create a breakout below the November 22 low with follow-through selling.
- Or will the market stall around the November 22 low area and trade higher instead?
- Most breakouts from trading ranges fail and odds favor the trading range to continue.
- The market is trading around the lower third of the trading range which can be the buy zone of trading range traders.
- The EURUSD is in a 111-week trading range. (Trading range high: July 2023, low: October 2023).
- Traders will BLSH (Buy Low, Sell High) within a trading range until a breakout with follow-through selling/buying.
