Today I’m looking at the EUR/USD pair across different time frames in order to decide whether or not we have a solid bearish signal to act on right now.
I look at the markets based on my signature Invest Diva Diamond Analysis (IDDA) and combine it with the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo strategy development technique including indications from the Ichimoku cloud.

Technical Analysis
Today I’m looking at the EUR/USD pair which despite forming a potential reverse head and shoulder bullish reversal chart pattern in the past couple of months, has now broken below the daily Ichimoku cloud.
But if you look closely at the chart, you’ll also see that the future cloud is bullish, and that the pair seems to have found support above the 78% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.099. Now, a break below the Ichimoku cloud does indicate further drops within time frame of the chart, in this case, the daily chart. But in this case, considering the other bullish signals around, only if the 1.099 support level is broken, would we see further drops towards the next support of 1.08.
