EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Triangle compression pattern can send EUR/USD to 1.1750 level

  • EUR/USD bulls have put the main bear trend on hold since mid-August.  
  • EUR/USD is consolidating the August bull rally in a triangle compression pattern (blue lines). The bulls have used 1.1530 as support many times in the last months making it a rather strong level. The market is currently ranging as the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are relatively flat.
  • As long as EUR/USD stays above 1.1530, bulls next targets are 1.1630 and 1.1750.  Conversely, a  bear breakout below 1.1530 would invalidate the bullish bias.
