Risk Attitude Pushes Euro to Strengthen

By Dmitriy Gurkovskiy, Chief Analyst at RoboForex

Early in the new week of October, EUR/USD is looking good and trading at 1.1660. the factor that supports the European currency is the global risk attitude.

So far, the US Fed hasn’t given any signals of the QE programme reduction in November. This fact upsets the “greenback” enthusiasts, who obviously decided to take a break and wait for any relevant news.

This week, the European Central Bank is scheduled to have a meeting, where it is expected to keep its monetary policy aspects intact. It will be very interesting to hear the regulator’s comments about the stimulus, which is currently not expected to change.

In the H4 chart, EUR/USD has formed a consolidation range around 1.1642 in the form of a Triangle pattern. Possibly, the pair may break the range and grow to reach the pattern’s upside border at 1.1685. If later the price breaks this level to the upside, the market may continue trading upwards with the target at 1.1710 (at least). From the technical point of view, this scenario is confirmed by MACD Oscillator: its signal line is moving above 0, while histograms are showing a steady wave to the upside.

As we can see in the H1 chart, after rebounding from 1.1664 to the downside, EUR/USD is falling towards 1.1642. Possibly, the pair may rebound from the latter level and resume growing to reach 1.1688. After that, the instrument may break this level as well and continue trading upwards with the target at 1.1710. From the technical point of view, this scenario is confirmed by the Stochastic Oscillator: its signal line is moving below 80. Later, the line is expected to fall towards 50, a rebound from which may lead to another growth to reach 80.
