My previous EUR/USD signal on 5th March was not triggered, as there was insufficiently bearish price action when each of the nearby resistance levels were first reached..

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
In my previous EUR/USD analysis last Wednesday, I wrote that the EUR/USD currency pair was likely to keep rising, at least until a compromise was announced concerning the new American tariffs.
This was a good call, as the price has continued to rise over the past week.
The technical picture has basically been very bullish, due to the Euro’s relative strength and the US Dollar weakening firmly as the tariff war shows no end in sight. This has sent the price consistently higher into blue sky to reach new 4-month record high prices.
Many trend traders may be holding back from going long here for two reasons:
The 50-day moving average is still below the 100-day moving average, which is a key trend-following filter used to qualify trends.
The strength of the run up suggests that the price will snap back.
It is clear there is at least a short-term bearish reversal from the hourly pin bar which rejected the resistance level at $1.0938, but the wave down looks secondary rather than impulsive. So, as long as the price holds up above the support level of $1.0882, the outlook must be bullish.
A long entry following a bullish bounce rejecting $1.0882 could be an interesting trade.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the Euro. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of US CPI (inflation) data at 12:30pm London time.
