Downtrend, lower highs, base near 1.1104-1.1113 · RSI 54 · price 1.11678
Lower-high sequence from 1.1276 pressing on a three-touch base.
Each H4 rally since the early-month 1.1276 peak has topped out lower, at 1.1269, the 1.1260 lower high, 1.1226 and Friday's 1.1214 high. Meanwhile the 1.1104-1.1113 base has absorbed three tests. The post-ECB false break to the 1.1104 17-month low reversed sharply, but the rebound met rejection at the friday high. A firm USD and extended euro shorts frame the swing, and price has slipped back toward the 1.1136 swing low. EMA20 sits below EMA50 and price trades between them, with the ema50 near 1.1178 also close to the 61.8% retrace of the Oct 23-29 leg. ATR(14) near 31 pips is expanded versus mid-month, not compressing.
Support: 1.1136, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1178, 1.1214, 1.1260
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 1.1104 17m low breaks the base and confirms a fresh lower-low
Close back above 1.1214 friday high and the lower-high line breaks the descending sequence, opening 1.1260 lower high
Failure to hold the 1.1136 swing low puts the 1.1104-1.1113 base back under test
Reclaim of the ema50 near 1.1178 (61.8% fib) would shift the read from retrace to recovery

Lower highs from 1.1276; sweep of 1.1113 lows to 1.1104, rebound capped at 1.1214.
EUR/USD has printed lower highs at 1.1276, 1.1269 and the 1.1256 lower high over three weeks. The post-ECB sweep through the 1.1113 lows to the 17m low at 1.1104 reversed sharply, but stalled at the 1.1214 bounce high as EUR failed to hold gains on the Q3 GDP beat and the soft German HICP. The pullback held the 1.1136 swing low, and price now sits just above EMA20 and below the ema50 near 1.1180, which lines up with the 50% fib of the 1.1256–1.1104 leg; ATR(14) near 31 pips is elevated versus the mid-window compression.
Support: 1.1136, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1180, 1.1214, 1.1256
What it said to watch
H4 close above the lower-highs trendline and the 1.1214 bounce high breaks the lower-high sequence
Acceptance above the ema50 / 50% fib at 1.1180 shifts the read toward a deeper retracement
Failure to hold the 1.1136 swing low exposes the 17m low at 1.1104
Mon EZ PMIs and US ISM Manufacturing (15:00 UTC), then Tue US midterms, could materially shift this read
Lower highs since 1.1269; failed rebound off 17m low.
H4 has printed a sequence of lower highs from the 1.1269 range top through the 1.1226 lower high. The post-ECB flush to the 1.1104 17m low was a false break of the 1.1113 prior lows, but the rebound stalled at 1.1214, under the lower-highs trendline. Soft German HICP and USD haven demand drove today's rejection back to 1.1163, the 50% retracement of the rebound. Price is pinned to EMA20 and below EMA50, with ATR(14) near 31 pips after the ECB-bar expansion.
Support: 1.1136, 1.1113, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1214, 1.1226, 1.1269
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 1.1136 swing low exposes the 1.1113 prior lows and the 1.1104 17m low
A break of the 1.1104 17m low would confirm the failed rebound and extend the lower-low sequence
Reclaiming the 1.1214 rebound high and the lower-highs trendline would neutralise the reversal and put the 1.1226 lower high in play
Lane and Musalem remarks today, plus Monday's ISM and Tuesday's US midterms, could materially shift this read
13:01 UTC
Range with lower highs, sharp rebound off range low · RSI 57 · price 1.11937
Lower highs from 1.1285; false break of 1.1104 range low reclaimed.
EURUSD has spent three weeks inside a 1.1104–1.1285 range. Highs have stepped lower along a line from 1.1285 that now sits near 1.1247, and the late-month leg broke under the 1.1113 mid-month low to the 1.1104 range low before reversing. The ECB's hawkish hold turned that false break into a rebound that has retraced most of the drop from the 1.1226 lower high, capped so far at the 1.1214 swing high, with price back above EMA20 and EMA50 and holding the 61.8% fib near 1.1180. ATR(14) near 28 pips is expanding off the range low rather than compressing.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1150, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1214, 1.1226, 1.1269
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1226 lower high exposes the lower-highs trendline near 1.1247 and the 1.1269 oct high
Failure to hold the 61.8% fib at 1.1180 returns focus to prior lows near 1.1150
A break back below the 1.1104 range low would turn the false break into a fresh lower low
Eurozone HICP and US ECI today, then Lane, Daly and Musalem later, could materially shift this read

Range-bound with lower highs, sharp rebound off window low · RSI 58 · price 1.11952
Lower highs since 1.1276; false break of 1.1113 prior low, now testing the lower-high trendline.
Three weeks of two-way trade inside 1.1104–1.1285, with lower highs stepping down from 1.1276 to 1.1226 along a descending trendline. Last week's slide undercut the 1.1113 prior low to a 1.1104 window low and then reversed, marking a false break. Price rebounded to a 1.1214 rebound high on a soft post-FOMC USD and EUR data beats (Q3 GDP 0.4% vs 0.2%, Italian CPI 5.4%). Price now holds above the fib 50% of the 1.1260–1.1104 drop near 1.1182, is back above both EMAs with EMA20 still under EMA50, and ATR(14) has expanded to about 28 pips.
Support: 1.1182, 1.1113, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1214, 1.1226, 1.1260
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1226 lower high breaks the lower-high sequence and puts the 1.1260 prior highs in play
US ECI at 12:30 UTC and Eurozone HICP flash at 13:00 UTC today could materially shift this read
Failure back below the fib 50% at 1.1182 returns focus to the 1.1113 prior low and 1.1104 window low
EMA20 crossing above EMA50 would mark the first bullish H4 cross since the slide began

Range-bound with lower highs, rebounding off range floor · RSI 61 · price 1.1193
Lower highs since mid-month inside 1.1104–1.1269 range; false break of October low reversed.
EURUSD has carved a sequence of lower highs from the 1.1269 range top down to the 1.1214 swing high. The late-October slide briefly undercut the mid-month low before a sharp false break reversal off the 1.1104 oct low. The rebound, helped by a third day of USD softness, retraced roughly three-quarters of the late-Oct drop and met rejection at 1.1214, where EUR has been capped. Price now sits just above the ema50 near 1.1177, with EMA20 still below EMA50 and ATR around 26 pips, a steady rather than expanding regime.
Support: 1.1177, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1214, 1.1226, 1.1265
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1214 swing high and the lower-highs line breaks the descending sequence and exposes the 1.1226 lower high, then the 1.1265 range top
Failure to hold the ema50 near 1.1177 returns focus to the 1.1104 oct low; a close below it turns the false break into a lower-low
EMA20 crossing above EMA50 would mark the first bullish H4 cross since the mid-month top

Downtrend inside a range, sharp rebound off the floor · RSI 64 · price 1.11916
Lower highs since 1.1285; false break below 1.1113 into 1.1104 reclaimed.
EURUSD has carved a sequence of lower highs from the 1.1285 range top through 1.1260 and the 1.1226 swing high, with the descending lower-high line now near 1.1255. This week's dip broke the 1.1113 prior low and set a 17-month low at 1.1104, then reversed. Hawkish ECB guidance and a softer USD on US-Iran de-escalation lifted price back above the fib 61.8 near 1.1180 and above both EMAs. EMA20 still sits below EMA50, and ATR(14) has expanded to about 26 pips from the earlier compression.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1113, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1260, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1226 swing high breaks the lower-high sequence and puts 1.1260 and the lower-high line in focus
Failure to hold the fib 61.8 near 1.1180 reopens the 1.1113 prior low and the 1.1104 17-month low
A close back below 1.1104 would turn the false break into a fresh range breakdown

Lower highs, rebounding off range floor · RSI 61 · price 1.11835
Lower-high sequence inside a 1.1104–1.1285 range; false break below the floor reclaimed.
Lower highs from the 1.1260 area carried price through the 1.1113 range floor this week to a 17-month low at 1.1104. That break was quickly reclaimed after Lagarde flagged a likely December ECB hike, making it a false break. Price has retraced past 61.8% of the 1.1226–1.1104 drop and is now pressing the lower-highs trendline near 1.1198. It sits back above both EMAs, though EMA20 (~1.1157) remains below EMA50 (~1.1177); ATR(14) at ~25 pips expanded on the reversal bar after a stretch of compression.
Support: 1.1165, 1.1113, 1.1104
Resistance: 1.1198, 1.1226, 1.1260
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1198 trendline and the 1.1226 swing high would break the lower-highs sequence and reopen the 1.1260 cluster
Slip back below the fib 50% at 1.1165 would undercut the rebound and refocus the range floor at 1.1113
Close below the 1.1104 17-month low would turn the false break into a genuine range break
