• The Eurodollar continues to fall for a second day as expectations for a U.S. rate cut are adjusted.

• The Eurodollar could fall further, lacking support until USD 1.072.

EURUSD Technical Analysis

Analyzing the Eurodollar’s daily chart, it has now broken below the crucial 240-day moving average, which will significantly influence future trends. If this line acts as resistance, the Eurodollar could plummet to around USD 1.072.

As the dollar strengthens amid adjustments following premature expectations for a U.S. rate cut, it’s too early to determine whether this is an opportunity to buy the dip or a shift to a downward trend. Pay close attention to the relationship between the 240-day moving average and the candlestick positions.

Day Trading Strategy (1-Hour Chart)

Analyzing the Eurodollar’s 1-hour chart, the 24-hour moving average is acting as resistance, and the currency continues to fall, setting new lows. According to Dow Theory, this is a clear downtrend. The key weekly support line of USD 1.0807 has already been breached, intensifying the downtrend. In the current market, trade with a selling perspective until it surpasses the 24-hour moving average.

For day trading, consider selling around USD 1.08, with a target of USD 1.0735. Place a stop either when it closes above the 24-hour moving average or around USD 1.0835.
