Currencies - Trillions and Trillions Everyday
Mar 20, 2009 The June Euro was lower due to profit taking overnight as it consolidates above 50% retracement level of the December-March decline crossing at 135.215. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible. If June extends this month's rally, the 62% retracement level of the December-March decline crossing at 137.736 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 128.603 would temper the near-term friendly outlook. First resistance is the 62% retracement level crossing at 137.736. Second resistance is the 75% retracement level crossing at 140.557. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 130.492. Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 128.603.
