    EUR/USD analysis: bulls need to break 1.1780 resistance

    By Nathan Batchelor

    EUR/USD analysis

    Last week the euro staged a notable upside recovery against the US dollar, as the pair started firm above the 1.1700 level.

    EUR/USD technical analysis highlights that the pair needs to stabilise above 1.1780 in order to encourage a major push higher towards 1.1870.

    EUR/USD medium-term price trend

    The EUR/USD pair started to gain traction above 1.1700 last week, as the US Dollar Index gave back a significant portion of its recent gains.

    EUR/USD analysis over the medium term shows that buyers need to anchor the price above 1.1780 to attract further technical buying interest.

    EUR/USD analysis

    The daily time frame shows that a large broadening wedge pattern is located between 1.1780 and 1.2100.

    If bulls move the price above 1.1780, and perform a series of daily price closes above this area, then medium-term traders are likely to turn bullish again.

    Technical analysis highlights the 1.1840 and 1.1870 levels as the key upside barriers prior to the technically important 1.1900 region.

    EUR/USD short-term price trend

    EUR/USD technical analysis shows that the pair has a bearish bias over the short term, while the price trades under 1.1737.

    EUR/USD analysis

    EUR to USD analysis shows that a large inverted head-and-shoulders pattern has formed during the pair’s latest recovery.

    A move above the 1.1770 level is required to activate the bullish price pattern, which holds a 160 point upside projection. 

    Traders should also be aware that the MACD indicator on the four-hour time frame shows bullish price divergence until 1.1800.

    EUR/USD technical summary

    EUR to USD analysis highlights that the pair could surge towards the 1.1900 area if the 1.1770 to 1.1780 resistance level is overcome this week.

    The difference between trading assets and CFDs
    The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
    You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
    CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
    CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
