EUR/USD’s 4hr Pullback
EUR/USD has been trending higher since Valentine’s Day, this emerging uptrend is best viewed on the 4hr candle chart (below).
On this timeframe, we see three factors that indicate EUR/USD’s uptrend has potential to run higher:
1. Steepening Trendlines:
Analysis of EUR/USD's inflection points reveals a noticeable steepening of trendlines, signalling increased bullish momentum—a hallmark of a robust uptrend.
2. NFP Keltner Touch:
The latest surge in EUR/USD had enough momentum to touch the upper Keltner Channel, coinciding with the release of Friday's US non-farm payrolls (NFP) data. While the headline NFP exceeded expectations, disappointment in average hourly earnings and the unemployment rate weakened the USD, prompting a rally in EUR/USD.
3. Low Volatility Pullback:
Following the move into the upper Keltner Channel, a low volatility pullback occurred, settling around the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA)—a region coinciding with horizontal support.

Risk Management:
Stop Loss Placement:
Those looking to buy into EUR/USD’s pullback should consider incorporating the average true range (ATR) into their stop placement strategy. ATR dynamically adjusts for volatility. A stop that is 2 x ATR on the 4hr candle chart should provide enough room to account for short-term ‘noise’.
Calendar Check:
This week's economic calendar includes US inflation data today, European industrial production on Wednesday, and US retail sales on Thursday—events that may influence market dynamics.
