EUR/USD Technical Analysis


Expectations that the FED would end the year with a 25 basis point interest rate cut were realised. It was also seen that the markets had largely priced it. Last week, ECB rate cut was realised and the statements afterwards were interpreted in a relatively dovish tone. This was also seen as the critical point for the FED. Lagarde's winking at new interest rate cuts increased the importance of the ‘What will Powell say?’ discourse that we have been saying since the beginning of the week. After the interest rate cut on the US side, the FED's revision of its expectations for next year and the hawkish tone positively affected the dollar index, causing sharp retreats in the pair. While the dollar index jumped above the 108 level, the pair fell to 1.03. Recovery was achieved with Friday's PCE data. Today, a sellers course is observed in the pair. 1.0365 and 1.0330 support levels, 1.0425 and 1.0450 can be followed as resistance levels.

Resistances: 1.0425 / 1.0450 / 1.0485
Supports: 1.0365 / 1.0330 / 1.0300
