Trading prospective

EUR/USD bearish prospects remain

Technical commentary: EUR/USD current price 1.0879

Despite that current price remains contained within the upward-sloping 12 week price channel, downside risk remains on the table since the bearish pennant pattern proved true e.g the pattern is completed with a price break below the lower line (see chart). Further downside prospects towards the 1.0756 can not be ruled out, while upside risk is seen above the 1.1040s (see chart).
