The EUR/USD has been in a 10-bar tight trading range on the daily chart. This is a triangle on a smaller time frame. This is a breakout mode situation, and the probability is close to 50% for the breakout up or down.
Bears want a second leg down from the April 21 selloff.
Bulls see the 10-bar tight trading range as a final flag and want an upside breakout that would test the April 25 high and the bottom of the March—April trading range.
The Market is deciding if the April 21 bear breakout will lead to a measuring gap or exhaustion gap.
The odds favor an exhaustion gap and the market ultimately testing the April 21 high. However, the market may get a small second leg down first. If the market does get a second leg down, the 10-bar tight trading range would be a final flag.
Overall, the market will probably break to the upside soon and reach the March—April lows. The lower probability outcome would be the April 25 bear breakout leading to a measuring gap and testing the 2017 low.
