EUR/USD - monthly chart
when looking at the monthly chart it is important to notice, that in the last 5 months the open price and close prices moved closer together each month.
The open of this month is at 1.2462, which was taken out yesterday.
A simple rule in price bar formation trading is:
when you have 3 or more bars in the same trend (in this case - open high and close lower)
and then a reversal bar (open low and close higher), a buy-stop can be placed 1 pip above the high of the reversal bar.
This will apply in January, if the Dec. bar turns out to be a reversal bar.
In addition, there is another rule which reinforces the above rule:
If the open price and close price are within the top 20% of the total length of the bar (called a crow-bar), place a buy-stop order.
Iff open and close are within the bottom 20%, place a sell-stop order. The buy or sell price is always 1 pip above the high or 1 pip below the low respectively.

EUR/USD - daily chart
after a down-trend of nearly 2000 pips in the past 8 months, the high of the 'last full correction' on the daily chart is a crucial price point. The price is 1.2530
If this price is taken out, prices could turn back into the old trend (down trend) for 2 or 3 bars (days) and then confirm the new trend - in this case up trend.
Once this is accomplished, any hook can be traded with a buy-stop order all the way to near the 'last full correction' on the weekly chart, which is at 1.2886
Price targets then are 1.2889, 1.2918 and 1.3000
All 3 prices are 'cavity stops' on the weekly chart
All price-bar formation rules apply to any time frame, meaning, that until the above is accomplished, buy-stop orders can be placed on hooks on the 4 hr. chart.
The 4 hr. chart is currently NOT in consolidation.

EURUSD continues to find buyers on low news volume, but so far have failed to break any significant resistance, the most significant of those, in the short-term, being 1.2450.
A sustained break there is needed to signal short-term bears are standing aside. Even without that break bulls have the upper hand in the short-term, and will continue to have it above 1.2390 support. Long-term trend remains bearish.

EUR/USD broke above the resistance at 1.2460 only to start descending again after forming another inverted hammer candlestick pattern on the 4 hour filter chart. At this point, however, I am not certain whether this new movement to the downside is part of the bearish trend or part of the correction.

EUR/USD continues to rise with the breaking of the downward trend line.
It confirmed the formation of the 'morning star' candle on the daily chart.
However, the increase stopped by the moving average of 200 periods.
The short-term momentum is positive and even the long-term decline is losing momentum.
R3 - 1.25612
R2 - 1.25043
R1 - 1.24755
Daily Std. Pivot - 1.24186
S1 - 1.23898
S2 - 1.23329
S3 - 1.23041

Its obvious that it is part of the bearish trend as the pair end up at 1.2375.

Further development might show clear direction, this pair is testing my patience.

Despite breaking key resistance level, euro still showing sigh of weakness, failed to extend the rally and struggled to hold above 1.24 level.

EURUSD initially tried to rally to the 1.25 handle on yesterday session but found enough resistance to turn back down. The pair ended up rolling towards the 1.2350 level, an area of significant support. Once the pair gets below it, Bears will show their claws, and the price will head down to the 1.2250 level. A daily close above the 1.25 handle will shift the mid-term trend to bullish.

it would be helpful if you also explain why 'today will fall', otherwise your comment seems worthless.

Indeed, EUR/USD moved to the upside again today and appears that the correction continues. The likely target is, I think, 1.2570.

EUR / USD had no strength to continue to rise to meet resistance near the moving average of 200 periods.
Began to to trade again below the falling trend line.
However, as the positive difference between the short-term oscillators and the price action is still active and the possibility of a higher minimum and another break above the trend line still exists.
