EURUSD Technical Analysis | Forexlive

- The Fed left interest rates unchanged as expected at the last meeting with basically no
change to the statement. The Dot Plot still showed three rate cuts for 2024 and
the economic projections were upgraded with growth and inflation higher and the
unemployment rate lower. - Fed Chair Powell maintained a neutral stance as he said that it was
premature to react to the recent inflation data given possible bumps on the way
to their 2% target. - The US CPI and the US PPI beat expectations for the second
consecutive month. - The US Jobless Claims beat expectations last week.
- The US ISM Manufacturing PMI beat expectations by a big margin with
the prices component continuing to increase. - The US Consumer Confidence missed expectations although the labour
market details improved. - The market now sees basically a 50/50 chance of a
cut in June.

tight with the unemployment rate hovering at record lows. - The latest Eurozone PMIs beat
expectations on the Services side while the Manufacturing one missed dropping
further in contraction. - The market expects the ECB to cut rates in June.
EURUSD Technical Analysis –
Daily Timeframe
On the daily chart, we can see that EURUSD recently
broke below the 1.08 support
following strong US data. The price bounced on the key 1.0723 level and it’s
now approaching the 1.08 support turned resistance where we
can also find the blue 8 moving average for confluence. This is
where we can expect the sellers to step in with a defined risk above the
resistance to position for a break below the 1.0723 level. The buyers, on the
other hand, will want to see the price breaking higher to increase the bullish
bets into the 1.10 handle.
EURUSD Technical Analysis
– 4 hour Timeframe
On the 4 hour chart, we can see more closely the resistance
around the 1.08 handle where we can also find the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level
for confluence. If the price were to get there, we can expect the sellers to step
in to position for the break of the 1.0723 level. The buyers will need to break
above this resistance to invalidate the bearish setup and start targeting new
highs.
EURUSD Technical Analysis –
1 hour Timeframe
On the 1 hour chart, we can see that we
have a minor support zone around the 1.0760 level where we can find the
confluence of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and the red 21 moving
average. This is where we can expect the buyers to step in with a defined risk
below the level to position for a break above the resistance with a better risk
to reward setup. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see the price
breaking lower to increase the bearish bets into new lows.
Upcoming Events
Today we have the Eurozone CPI and later in the day,
the US ADP and the US ISM Services PMI. Tomorrow, we get the latest US Jobless
Claims figures while on Friday we conclude the week with the US NFP report.
