Daily Forex Commentary: Euro, USDJPY |
The EURO closed lower on Friday and below the 10 day moving average crossing suggesting that a short term top may have posted. The low range close could have set the stage for a steady to lower opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish suggesting that sideways to lower prices are possible near term. A close below the 20 day moving average crossing could be needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted. If it extends the rebound off May's low, the 87% retracement level of May's decline crossing is the next upside level.
