EURUSD: Bearish, Sells Off On Loss Of Upside Momentum

Very well pointed out my friend.
I was surprisingly long from the 0.8950 level, and closed the trade with almost 100 pips gain.
I am not an expert, but I saw a break in the pair, and so I took advantage of it.

The 0.9080 level is a critical resistance level, in my opinion, and the pair might struggle to take it out.
If it does, then the pair might target the 0.9170 level.
Let's see what happens in the coming sessions for the pair.
Cheers!
 
Hi,

Thanks. You are right. It is already testing the 0.9050 level. A failure to break here could force audusd to move lower but if taken out, a push higher towards the 0.9166 level will occur.
 
EURUSD: Hesitates But Biased To Upside On Recovery

EURUSD: With a second day of recovery occurring on Monday, there is risk of further price extension. This development could force the pair to recapture the 1.3700 level where a violation will mean further upside pressure towards its Jan 02 2014 high at 1.3766 level. Further out, resistance comes in at the 1.3818 level, representing its Dec 30 2013 high. A turn above here will pave the way for the pair to push further higher towards its Dec2013 high at the 1.3893 level. Its daily RSI is bullish and pointing higher supporting this view. On the other hand, support comes in at the 1.3571 level where a break will turn attention to the 1.3548 level. We expect a cap to occur here and turn the pair back up but if taken out expect more decline towards the 1.3500 level. We may see the bulls come in here and push the pair higher. All in all, EUR continues to retain its upside bias in the medium term but faces corrective weakness

I have read on many other places that the 1.3700/10 is very critical resistance for the pair.
Can anyone explain me why this is so important for the pair?
I am looking for an answer.
I am new here and trying to learn few things in the Forex world.

I am sorry if I am hijacking the thread.
