June Euro currency futures (E6M25) present a buying opportunity on more price strength.
See on the daily bar chart for the June Euro currency futures that prices are trending higher and this week took a pause, which is not bearish. See also that the two shorter-term moving averages I follow (9- and 18-day) are in a bullish posture as the red 9-day is above the blue 18-day and both lines are trending up. The Euro currency bulls have the firm overall near-term technical advantage.
Fundamentally, the U.S.-China trade war that threatens to become a cold war between the two nations is Euro currency bullish and U.S. dollar bearish.
A move in the June Euro currency futures prices above chart resistance at 1.1475 would become a buying opportunity. The upside price objective would be 1.1900, or above. Technical support, for which to place a protective sell stop just below, is located at 1.1250.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature.
Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%):
Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.
