The currency major has tested six-month highs and remains at 1.0610.
By now, investors have got maximum information from December. The US Fed has increased the interest rate to 4.50% and promised further increases in accordance with inflation. The European Central Bank has lifted the rate to 2.50% as expected but the comments turned out to be even more carnivorous than expected.
The final inflation report in the Euro zone in November demonstrated growth to 10.1% y/y against the forecast 10.0%. Meanwhile, the base CPI remained at 5.0% y/y.
Until Christmas, the markets will continue analysing the information to become active again after winter holidays.
On H4, the pair has completed an impulse of decline to 1.0586. Today a consolidation range is expected to form above it. With an escape downwards, a wave of decline to 1.0507 might become possible. The goal is local. Then growth to 1.0585 and a decline to 1.0440 will become possible. Technically, the scenario is confirmed by the MACD: its signal line is headed strictly down, suggesting further development of the wave of decline.
