September Euro currency futures (E6U25) present a buying opportunity on more price strength.
See on the daily bar chart for the September Euro currency futures that prices are trending higher and have recently hit a 3.5-year high. See, too, at the bottom of the chart that the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is in a bullish posture as the red MACD line is above the blue trigger line and both lines are trending up. The Euro bulls have the solid near-term technical advantage.
Fundamentally, the European Union’s economy is presently stable and the EU’s trade status with its major counterparts is also stable — unlike that of the U.S. and many of its trading counterparts. That’s bullish for the Euro currency and bearish for the U.S. dollar, as seen with the Euro’s price action the past several weeks.
A move in the September Euro currency above chart resistance at the June high of 1.1704 would become a buying opportunity. The upside price objective would be 1.2300 or above. Technical support, for which to place a protective sell stop just below, is located at 1.1400.
