The euro has endured a healthy correction since late December and appears poised to resume the uptrend.

The euro peaked on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2004, and has undergone a sharp correction following the strong eight-month rally. The market appears to be at that important juncture at which it decides to resume the primary trend. Last week, the euro touched the 0.382 Fibonacci level of the eight-month rally, which often marks a turning point for corrections. This level also remained in the vicinity of the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), which also provided support in mid-October.

The relative strength index (RSI) is also attempting a bounce from the bullish support level of 40. The euro RSI found support in the 40 region on numerous occasions throughout 2004. The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) histogram has also completed a double divergence, which sometimes is a precursor to a sharp bounce.
