The holidays in Japan, the US and Canada couldn't prevent the dollar from recovering across the board on Monday after being obliterated a day earlier. The dollar should attempt to pad its recovery today.
Euro/dollar
Following its aggressive recovery on Friday, the euro/dollar fell on Monday in line with the bearish reversal signal on a weekly basis. So far it's stuck in an inside range. Once again, at least in the short term the pair, which remains overbought in the medium term, should head lower. The uptrend is in trouble here.
Euro/dollar has initial support at 1.3995. Only a break below 1.3965 would confirm that a peak is in place. 'Next level is 1.3935. Distant support looms at 1.3795.
Immediate resistance is at 1.4105. A move above 1.4185 would negate the pullback. Above 1.4281, strong resistance is seen only at 1.4400.
Oscillators are mixed.
NEAR-TERM: Mixed with bearish bias
MEDIUM-TERM: Bullish
LONG-TERM: Bullish
