EURUSD gradually rises inside six-week-old bullish channel
EURUSD extends the previous three-week uptrend as traders await Eurozone Retail Sales and the US inflation data. The quote’s latest upside could be portrayed by an upward-sloping trend channel. That said, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of September 12-28 downside, near 1.0070, lures short-term buyers. In a case where a nearly overbought RSI fails to stop the pair’s upside, the stated channel’s upper line near 1.0140 will gain the market’s attention, a break of which could challenge September’s peak surrounding 1.0200.
Alternatively, the pullback move could aim for the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels, near 0.9945 and 0.9865 in that order. Following that, the 200-SMA level near 0.9810 and the bullish channel’s support line, close to 0.9750, will act as the last defense of the EURUSD buyers. If the quote defies the bullish chart pattern, multiple supports near 0.9640 and 0.9580 could test the sellers before directing them towards refreshing the yearly low, currently around 0.9535.
Overall, EURUSD is likely to grind higher but the room towards the north appears limited.
