Overall, 2020 was a good year for EURUSD bulls. Despite the March crash during the coronavirus-related volatility, the pair ended the year up almost 9%. With more stimulus already in the pipeline at the start of 2021, it made sense to expect further devaluation of the dollar against the Euro. Alas, common sense doesn’t always…

Ahead of EURUSD ‘s 280-pip Drop in September
EURUSD had been on a tear since mid-March when it bottomed out at 1.0636. Nearly six months later, on the first day of September, the pair exceeded the 1.2000 mark. The bulls seemed firmly in control and the Fed’s money printing suggested further losses ahead for the dollar. However, years of experience had taught us…
EURUSD Up 420 Pips in a Month as Uptrend Resumes
The inevitable seems to be happening to the U.S. dollar. After record-breaking liquidity injections by the Fed in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the greenback is weakening across the board. The U.S. dollar has recently been declining against its major rivals, including the Yen, the pound and the euro. EURUSD, the most traded Forex pair…
Elliott Wave Setup Helps EURUSD Add 325 Pips
EURUSD has been under pressure for over two years now. The pair reached 1.2556 in February 2018, but has been making lower lows and lower highs ever since.

Ahead of the Move: EURUSD Adds 500 Pips in a Week
At the start of last week EURUSD was trading below 1.0700. The pair had fallen from as high as 1.1496 in just two weeks as coronavirus cases in Western Europe kept climbing disturbingly fast.

EURUSD Turns Up Ahead of Brexit Talks Breakthrough
EURUSD is up by 260 pips since the beginning of October. The pair climbed from 1.0879 to 1.1140 in just 14 trading days.

EURUSD Bulls Needed a Catalyst. Mr. Powell Obliged
EURUSD was trading near 1.1170 at the start of last week. The pair was close to levels last seen two years ago and most expected the slide to continue.

EURUSD Reversal Needed “Breathing Space”
EURUSD plunged below 1.1260 earlier today. The pair has been steadily declining during the last twelve months and the latest drop suggests a new low is very likely to be reached soon.

EURUSD Sharp U-Turn Predicted by Elliott Wave
2018 has so far been a terrible year for EURUSD bears and the month of October made no exception. The pair climbed to 1.1815 in late-September, but could not maintain the positive momentum.
