City Trades: Euro to slide further

TRADING IDEA: The single European currency risks giving up more ground before long
December 15, 2009

The Euro formed a bearish double-top pattern around $1.514 and then crashed through support at $1.4823, says the team at InterpreTA.

IC TIP: Sell

Our target of $1.463 has already been exceeded, followed by a correction up to $1.4684. Momentum on the MACD oscillator has unwound from oversold levels and now the drop through the 1.4587 signals fresh falls towards $1.4481. Sell around $1.463-$1.467, targeting $1.4481. Subsequent support lies at $1.439 and $1.435. Exit short positions above $1.4684.
