A big bullish white candle has formed. Prices closed considerably higher than open. If the candle appears when prices are "low," it may be the first sign of a bottom. If it occurs when prices are rebounding off a support area, a moving average, trend line, or retracement level, the long white candle adds credibility to the support. Likewise, if the candle appears during a breakout above a resistance area, the long white candle adds credibility to the breakout.
The previous 10 candlestick bars, there are 7 white candles versus 3 black candles with a net of 4 white candles.
The previous 50 candlestick bars, there are 24 white candles versus 26 black candles with a net of 2 black candles.
Three white candles has formed during the last three bars. Although these candles were not big enough to create three white soldiers, the steady upward pattern is bullish.MACD is BULLISH as the MACD is above the signal line.
The MACD crossed above the signal line 9 period(s) ago. Since the MACD crossed the MACD moving average, Euro Dollar / US Dollar's price has increased 3.34%, and has been fluctuating from a high of 1.119 to a low of 1.063.
The MACD is currently not in an Overbought/Oversold range.
There have been no divergence signals during the last 5 periods.
The Stochastic Oscillator is currently above 80. This is an indication of the security being in an "overbought" condition. No Stochastic Buy or Sell signals generated today. The last signal was a Sell 214 Period(s) Ago.
The RSI is not currently in a topping (above 70) or bottoming (below 30) range. A buy or sell signal generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a Buy 30 period(s) ago.
The RSI has just reached its highest value in the last 14 period(s). This is BULLISH signal.

Currently, the Momentum Oscillator is in an overbought condition.

The Directional Movement Indicators (DMI) currently is not indicating a specific price direction. Because this is a trend following system, it should not use to initiate any trades right now. The last Directional Movement Indicators (DMI) signal was a SELL 16 period(s) ago.
There were no SAR signals generated today. The last SAR signal was a Buy 4 period(s) Ago.

The current market condition for Euro Dollar / US Dollar is Mildly Bearish
Euro Dollar / US Dollar closed above the upper Bollinger Band by 9.3%. This combined with the steep uptrend suggests that the upward trend in prices has a good chance of continuing. However, a short-term pull-back inside the Bollinger Bands is likely. Bollinger Bands are 7.21% wider than normal. The current width of the Bollinger Bands (alone) does not suggest anything conclusive about the future volatility or movement of prices.

US Dollar / Japanese Yen closed above the upper Bollinger Band by 17.2%. This combined with the steep uptrend suggests that the upward trend in prices has a good chance of continuing. However, a short-term pull-back inside the Bollinger Bands is likely. Bollinger Bands are 11.21% wider than normal. The current width of the Bollinger Bands (alone) does not suggest anything conclusive about the future volatility or movement of prices.

A big bullish white candle has formed. Prices closed considerably higher than open. If the candle appears when prices are "low," it may be the first sign of a bottom. If it occurs when prices are rebounding off a support area, a moving average, trend line, or retracement level, the long white candle adds credibility to the support. Likewise, if the candle appears during a breakout above a resistance area, the long white candle adds credibility to the breakout.

The previous 50 candlestick bars, there are 33 white candles versus 17 black candles with a net of 16 white candles.
