EUR/USD continues to trade near the annual maximum and will remain here. Now everything will be decided by the Fed meeting. The market is not expecting changes in interest rates, and additional impetuses in the form of expanding the range of redeemed bonds is probably already expensive. The main driver of the price movement on Wednesday evening may be the statement of the Central Bank about the economic future. If the Fed defines an improvement in the economic climate together with the additional impetuses, the dollar could go up in price in value.
The main scenario for trading EUR/USD is working in a narrow range until Wednesday evening. At the end of the American session,the move to one of the sides is possible. So far, technical indicators are relatively calm, but a slight predominance is on the side of the bulls. The MACD has been fixed in a positive zone. The ADX is rising with the increase of price, which indicates an increase in upward impetus.
Alternative scenario: if the price fixes above the level of 1.2175 after the Fed meeting, the growth is likely to continue. In case of break-through of the level of 1.2106 and consolidation below it, a trend change is most likely.
On Tuesday, the sterling demonstrated strong bullish impetus on statements from the key Brexit negotiators. Having received further assurances about the possibility of resolving the deadlock, the pair demonstrates steady growth. Also, market players expect the data to leave from the service sector – the most important for the British market. Preliminary data for December may show positive dynamics. According to economists’ forecast, a December growth will show 50.5, which is considered as a relatively good result.
The main scenario: risk-averse buying on a decline. Precisely because the negotiation process in Brexit is volatile, thus purchases are “risk-averse”. The indicators are still supporting the bullish sentiment. Only the MACD still displays divergence, but if the price fixes above 1.3477, it is likely to disappear.

Alternative scenario: if the price fixes below 1.3331, the bullish impetus will be lost and we can consider selling the currency pair.
On Tuesday, trading closed in the negative zone, and the dynamics continues to remain bearish, despite the calm in the stock market. This is somewhat confusing. The movement may be quite speculative ahead of the Fed meeting, as it happens. But for now we observe that the price is fixed below the support level, and this is a signal for intraday sales. Everything may change at the end of the American trading session.
The main trading scenario for the pair: selling before the American session. If nothing changes at the end of the day, the trend is likely to remain south. Technical indicators are giving a strong bearish signal. The ADX indicates significant selling pressure up to the 103.09 level. The MACD confirms the strength of bears – convergence is observed on the chart.
An alternative scenario assumes a break-through of 104.02 and a return to the previous range between 103.70 and 104.59.
The bullish scenario continues on the oil market. The price managed to fix above the last Friday’s closing level at $47.50 per barrel, which strengthened the Canadian currency. Today, traders will closely monitor the US oil reserves. This data output can change the direction of the Canadian dollar in the short term.
We are considering selling up to the level of 1.2528. But the movement can be slow. Еру MACD continues to demonstrate divergence, so bears should be careful. The ADX is still on the side of sellers, but the potential is decreasing.
Alternative scenario: if the price manages to return above 1.2792, the southern trend will be broken and a buy signal to the level of 1.2835 will appear.
