Morning Star Pattern Awaits Confirmation Near 2014 Low

Shooting Star Suggested An Intraday Shift In Sentiment
EUR/USD’s recent rebound has yielded a Morning Star formation, which may hint at a recovery for the pair. However, the pattern requires a successive up-day in order to be validated and to suggest a base may have formed. This may prove a difficult feat given the sustained presence of a downtrend and the sellers likely sitting nearby at the 1.2700 handle.
Traders should note the upcoming US Non-Farm Payrolls report holds the potential to spark significant volatility which may negate technical signals offered.
