Based on a long-term analysis of historical data, the average positive and negative daily returns are approximately 0.44% and -0.44% , respectively. The estimated daily return in both directions based on their probability of occurrence is 0.22% and -0.22% . Yesterday´s return was -0.05% , well below the first standard deviation. Our scoring is currently neutral (0 ) for the month-on-month change and 0 for price indexation. This means that we are in the middle of a declining phase of the cycle. Both scorings range from -3 up to 3 . The development of the estimated cycles based on our analytical systems is shown in the following chart.
Different moving averages (MAs) help us better identify trends across multiple time frames. We use 3 basic MAs to find out which sentiment dominates each horizon. The purple line represents the monthly , the green line the 6 months and the yellow line the annual moving average. According to all MAs, EUR/USD is in bearish sentiment because it is below them. In the event of a rebound, the monthly MA may be exchange rate resistance.
Since our last analysis, there have been more declining trends, with a maximum of 5 consecutive days. This level has been tested several times in the last 3 years. Uptrends did not exceed more than 5 days. The maximum in the measured period is 5 days in a declining trend and 7 days in an uptrend. We could use the average long-term ATR (Average True Range) obtained from daily data (0.58% ) to estimate Stop Loss orders for our positions. The current value is 0.32% , which is half the average. Approximately 90% confidence interval (return between -1.0% and 1.0% ) is shown in the histogram below by a red rectangle.
We could use the last decile of low to high returns (1.50% ) to estimate Profit Targets, as shown in the chart below.
The basic technical analysis supports short-term bearish sentiment after falling into an important zone of demand (green rectangle), where are also the Fibonacci retracement level of 38.20% and the psychological level of 1.1600 . We can see a bullish divergence between the market price and the RSI, which has been developing since June. EUR/USD is currently testing lows of the last month and March.
