MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

After price formed bottom at 1.2624 (S3) EURUSD was able to break above 1.2711 (S1) and now has found a strong resistance at 1.2807 (R1). If we take a look in the short term time frame, the price is heading close to the downtrend trend line 1.2843 (R2). A break above that level will be suggesting target at 1.2878 (R3) and possibilities for a trend reversal. On the other hand if price fails to break above 1.2807 (R1) we will then expect the price to retest 1.2711 (S1) and then further decline towards 1.2647 (S2). We are in a very crucial level as it is a possibility to either have a continuation of the downtrend or a breakout and trend reversal.
