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. Yet, the past couple of weeks painted a different picture. Between May 18th and May 29th, the euro surged 325 pips against the U.S. dollar. In those…
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.

Elliott Wave Pattern Sent EURUSD Higher, Not Trump or Cohen

Riding EURUSD ‘s 1100-Pip Elliott Wave Crash
The way the year began gave EURUSD bulls a lot of reasons to hope for a great 2018. On February 19th, the euro was trading above 1.2400 against the U.S. counterpart, following a phenomenal 2017.

EURUSD: The Evolution of an Elliott Wave Count
Less than three months ago, on February 16th, the EURUSD pair climbed to a three-year high of 1.2556.
