- EUR/USD ended this Thursday virtually unchanged as the daily bar formed a doji, signaling indecision on both sides. After a doji, the market usually follows the path of least resistance. Since the week has seen lower highs and lower lows, odds favor a bearish continuation.
- Earlier in the American session, the weak run up (blue wedge) was not strong enough to break the 1.1700 figure. This was the second attempt on Thursday to break above the figure. As a reminder 1.1700 was support earlier in the week and it has now become resistance.
- What would negate the bearish scenario is a strong breakout above the 1.1700 level and a sustained follow-through above 1.1740, the open of the week.
