EUR/USD: BULLISH "HARAMI"
13:13 24.10.2017

There are bullish patterns such a "Hammer" and an "Inverted Hammer", which both have been confirmed enough. So, the 55 Moving Average is likely going to act as resistance soon. If a pullback from this line happens, we could have another decline.

The last bullish "Harami" led to the current upward correction. Meanwhile, if a pullback from the 34 Moving Average happens little later on, there'll be an opportunity to have a local bearish correction towards the nearest "Window".
