(News Bulletin 247) – The bevel exit (wedge) from below is now fully validated on the spot Euro / Dollar. The single currency, one of the reference barometers of risk appetite, marked the fear of operators with the announcement of a new salvo of sanctions against Russia. At the same time, the greenback was gaining points as it approached Minutes (this evening 8:00 p.m. Paris time).

KEY GRAPHIC ELEMENTS
As long as the spot quotes above $1.10, the supply of oxygen is guaranteed. On this side, there is no lack of technical arguments to justify the taking of selling positions. In the immediate term and in the absence of an interesting chart entry point, traders will avoid exposure. Regarding the substantive work matrix, it remains unchanged. The transition phase between February 4 and 23, in the form of a slip without federation, under the 100-day moving average (in orange) is over. The underlying bearish bias aligns with the short term, and the plot of a candle conspicuous by its red body on Thursday 2/24 illustrates the firm grip of the selling side. With 5 red-bodied candles from March 1 to 7, and continued selling mobilization in week 09, the picture remains gloomy. Confirmation of the formation of a wedge is in progress. A navigation within it is still to be expected. We will therefore monitor its two terminals, represented in black on our graph. A break in the lower boundary would accelerate the clearances. This has now been fully validated.

Our entry point is at 1.0915 USD. The price target of our bearish scenario is at 1.0686 USD. To preserve the invested capital, we advise you to position a protective stop at 1.0971 USD.
