FXstreet holds that hourly indicators look a bit exhausted to the upside, suggesting further consolidations for EUR/USD ahead.

The realtime forex news site adds that, “Pair needs to lose 1.3930 price zone, to trigger some bearish corrective rally, towards strong 1.3890 price zone, 61.8& retracement of the weekly fall 1 5140/1.1870.”

Meanwhile, Forexcyle points out that EUR/USD broke below key support at 1.3775, suggesting that a lengthier consolidation of the currency pair’s uptrend is underway.

According to the site’s intraday analysis, “Range trading between 1.3700 and 1.4000 would more likely be seen in a couple of days.”

In a report aimed at technical analysis trading, Precise Trader says the hourly trend has been in range trading, and the patterns suggest that higher highs are to be expected, with 1.3870-20 as the critical levels to watch to maintain a bullish outlook.

The site adds, “The Opening Price Principles are Mixed, so Cautious approach is needed until the Price breaks out of Zone 2 levels.”
