The EUR/USD currency pair

EUR/USD quotes are in a sideways trend. Financial market participants expect additional drivers. This week investors will be focused on the speeches by the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell: on Tuesday he will give a speech concerning supporting the economy in a pandemic at the Financial Services Committee of the US House of Representatives, on Wednesday he will speak in the House of Representatives, on Thursday – in the Senate Committee on Banking. At the moment, the key support is the level of 1.1830, the key resistance level is 1.1865. We recommend opening positions from these levels.

The publication of important news is not expected today. We recommend paying attention to the speech by the Fed Chairman.

Indicators do not give accurate signals: 50 MA crossed 100 MA.

The MACD histogram is in the positive zone, but below the signal line, which gives a weak signal to buy EUR/USD.

Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is below the %D line, which gives a signal to sell EUR/USD.
