EUR/USD Forex Market Trading Strategies For March 24. 2020

The daily chart of the EUR/USD Forex market had a huge reversal down after a huge reversal up. It is in an expanding triangle. However, the bulls need a strong reversal up to convince traders that the 8 month trading range is intact. Without that, the bears will try to continue the 2 year bear trend down to par (1.00).
Friday and Monday formed a micro double bottom in a sell climax. Because they were doji candlesticks, they lack conviction for the bulls. That makes them weak buy signal bars. However, traders expect a short covering rally soon.
By today going above yesterday’s high, the EUR/USD triggered a weak buy signal. Since the 2 week selloff has been climactic, the 1st reversal up will probably be minor. A minor reversal means that it becomes either a bear flag or a bull leg in what will end up as a trading range. There is only a 30% chance of a major reversal into a bull trend without at least a double bottom.
