We have written a lot recently about the importance of this week for EUR/USD from a timing perspective. Interestingly this turn window coincided with the ECB monthly meeting. This fundamental catalyst did not seemingly disappoint as the Euro briefly spiked through a key Fibonacci level at 1.3970 to touch its highest level since October of 2011. The technical break proved short-lived, however, as the rate quickly turned down leaving a large range reversal and possible double top on the daily. With our cyclical analysis pointing to a peak around this time we believe today’s failed break higher is probably the start of a larger downside move. We like selling the single currency on strength against 1.3995.
