2/12/2010 – EUR/USD – Price action on EUR/USD, a daily chart of which is shown, has continued its steeply-angled bearish trend after making yet another bullish correction/consolidation earlier in the week. This minor bullish correction, in the rough form of yet another inverted flag pattern, was halted just above key resistance in the 1.3800 price region. The current bearish trend continuation has established yet another new 8-month low in the pair after having broken down below the low of the prior week. Currently, the directional bias continues to be bearish, with the pair targeting key downside support in the 1.3400 price region. Strongly bearish price action that breaks down below the 1.3400 region could, going forward, target further downside support in the 1.3100 price region. Upside resistance within the context of the current steep downtrend continues to reside around the noted 1.3800 support/resistance price region.
