The EUR/USD pair experienced another sharp decline on Friday, dropping 150 pips in just a few hours. For novice traders, it's important to note that such a significant move within such a short time frame is rare for the euro. This market reaction doesn't usually occur, even after central bank meetings. Friday's plunge in the euro, triggered by the release of PMI data from the Eurozone and Germany, reflects panic-driven market behavior, signaling a flight from the euro.
The euro might rebound slightly or attempt a correction, but the underlying sentiment remains bearish. If the market drops the euro by 150 pips on reports of moderate significance in two hours, it clearly shows a strong bias toward selling the euro. We've been cautioning about this throughout 2024, and the current developments align with our expectations. The first target of 1.0451, which we mentioned previously, has been reached. We believe the euro could fall even further.
Several trading signals were generated in the 5-minute time frame on Friday, but predicting such a steep drop was nearly impossible. Traders could have entered short positions after breaking through the 1.0433-1.0451 zone, with the first target at 1.0359 reached quickly. However, we wouldn't recommend trading the rebound from this level due to the speed of the bounce (even though the target levels were achieved in this instance).
In the hourly time frame, EUR/USD has failed to show any significant correction, as the market appears unwilling to buy the euro. While a minor upward retracement is possible (as the weekly chart shows the price reaching the lower boundary of the range we previously discussed), this does not guarantee the start of a correction.
On Monday, we believe the decline could resume from the 1.0433-1.0451 zone as the market continues to signal a strong bearish sentiment.
On the 5-minute TF, the following levels should be considered: 1.0269-1.0277, 1.0334-1.0359, 1.0433-1.0451, 1.0526, 1.0596, 1.0678, 1.0726-1.0733, 1.0797-1.0804, 1.0845-1.0851, 1.0888-1.0896. No significant reports are scheduled for Monday in the Eurozone or the U.S., so the market may pause Friday's sharp decline. However, we advise focusing primarily on sell signals.
