EUR/USD

Failure to regain bear trendline, drawn off 1.4536 at 1.4380, has triggered fresh weakness and extension of the short-term downtrend from 1.4536, 27 July high. The latest fall from 1.4371, yesterday’s high, has nearly fully retraced 1.4142/1.4371 ascend, hitting 1.4151 low so far. Loss of 1.4142 support would confirm lower top at 1.4371 and signal further extension lower, with 1.4100 zone, Fib 61.8% of 1.3836/1.4536 upleg / bear-channel support, seen next, ahead of 1.4013, 17 July low, below which brings 1.3836, 12 July low in focus. Hourly 20 day MA, currently at 1.4290, maintains the near-term bear-tone, while only regain of 1.4371 barrier would improves.
