EUR/USD: A Break Higher 1.1170 Targets Strong Resistance At 1.1230/50

  • EUR/USD could be forming a bear flag, meaning eventually we will break lower and make a new low below 1.0800.

  • USD/CAD remains very much in an erratic and random 9 month sideways trend. A scalpers market as I do not think we can hold trades for long before prices reverse. On Friday we made a high for the day exactly at strong support at 1.2600/1.2580. Longs need stops below 1.2550.

A break lower is a sell signal targeting 1.0910/00. This is not a support so if we continue lower.
