The Euro has had a rough go of it the past 7-years, losing a third of its value. Could it be rally time? I fully understand if you feel like the person above, who is saying “No way can the Euro rally.”
The chart below looks at the Euro since the late 1990’s.

As mentioned above the Euro hit a cluster of support at the bottom of a long-term falling channel on 3/13 at (1). As it was hitting this potential support point, momentum was hitting the lowest levels since the late 1990’s at (3).
Traders have established a historically crowded position in the Euro over the past 18 months. The chart below from Sentiment Trader.com reflects that traders have established a larges short position in the Euro.

Does it seem hard to believe that the Euro could rally from here? I understand if you say “no way!”
If the Euro would happen to take out resistance at (3) in the top chart, the potential for a short covering rally increases a good deal, which would surprise a large number of traders.
A break of the 1.15 level in the Euro could be a tipping point….lets stay tuned to see if the Euro can push above it or fail here!

Charts are great look-backs to project future trends and short term moves based on volume, all things being equal. However, fundamental news will impact longer term future trends, and the Euro is an abject failure and is heading down back below parity. The creation of the EU has resulted in 25% unemployment, an explosion of debt, and members will be forced to leave. Keep pumping!
