Last week, the DUK+/EUR currency exchange rate ended sideways trading and reached the large sell order cluster at the 1.8900 level.

This week, there were still sell orders present near this level. However, their number was a lot smaller, which indicated that more gains are possible.

Daily Candle Chart


On the daily candle chart, the surge can be explained by using the daily simple moving averages. Namely, the rate got squeezed in between the 55 and 100-hour simple moving averages. As a result, the rate traded sideways and began to lose volatility and liquidity, as less and less deals occurred.

Usually and as during this time, this resulted in a sudden sharp move, which is called a break out. It occurs due to either the buy or sell side suddenly overtaking the other one due to the lack of counteroffers. In the current case, there were more buyers than sellers and the price jumped due to the lack of supply.
