At the moment, the EUR/USD has two consecutive bull bars on the daily chart following an 11-bar bear micro channel.
The odds still favor a minor reversal up and a second leg down.
Bulls need to do more to convince traders that they have taken control.
It is important to mention that the second leg down maybe a retest of Monday’s bear close. This means the second leg down does not have to go down far to form a double bottom and give the bulls a reason to buy for a swing.
The market is reversing back into the bear channel after the bear breakout below.
Is today strong enough to reverse the recent three consecutive bear bars? Assuming today will close on its high, it will damage the bear case; however, the bulls will likely need more before traders are willing to buy aggressively.
The channel down from February 10 was tight. It had several buy climaxes, which are partially why the market is bouncing here.
Since the market went sideways for 3 months, there will be many bulls who bought the bear breakout of the 3-month trading range, confident they could make a profit or avoid a loss if they used a wide stop and scaled in. This means some of those scale-in bulls will use any bounce to exit the trade breakeven.
Some bears sold the close of Monday, and they may be willing to scale in. Those bears may be disappointed here and look to buy back shorts on any pullback.
Overall, the EUR/USD will probably go sideways over the next several days.
If bulls get a strong bull close today and another bull close tomorrow, the odds will increase for them, and the bears may give up.
