1/05/2010 – EUR/USD – Price action on EUR/USD, a daily chart of which is shown, has consolidated in an inverted flag-like formation since late December. This occurs after price dropped substantially starting in the beginning of December, breaking down below a key uptrend that had been in place since the March lows. In the process of dropping, EUR/USD also broke down below several key support levels, most recent of which was the approximate 1.4450 price region. After breaking down below this level in mid-December, price has repeatedly attempted but failed to breakout above it once again, forming the noted flag consolidation in the process. If this flag turns out to be a true continuation pattern, a breakdown below the formation should confirm a continuation of a new downtrend. In this event, a major further support target to the downside resides around the 1.3800 price region. Conversely, if price manages to make a strong break and close above the noted 1.4450 resistance region, the pair could target further upside resistance in the 1.4800 price region.
