EUR/USD Shows Resilience Amid Risk Appetite

February 27, 2024

By RoboForex Analytical Department

The EUR/USD pair is trading close to 1.0821, demonstrating a strong stance in the current market environment. Investors are leaning towards riskier assets, buoyed by the anticipation of several key macroeconomic releases this week.

A critical focal point for the market will be the upcoming US inflation data, particularly the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, a preferred measure of inflation by the Federal Reserve. The report, expected to be released on Thursday, is forecasted to show a 0.4% month-on-month increase. This data is crucial as it influences the Fed’s monetary policy decisions.

The prevailing market sentiment suggests that the Federal Reserve may not be poised to embark on a monetary easing cycle just yet, opting instead to maintain the current interest rate levels for a longer duration.

On the H4 chart, EUR/USD has shown a downtrend, reaching a low of 1.0802. It’s anticipated that a corrective movement could occur next. After this correction, the price is expected to decline to 1.0785, where it might form a consolidation range. A break below this range could lead to a further decrease towards the local target of 1.0720. This bearish scenario is supported by the MACD indicator, with its signal line positioned below zero and the histogram indicating a sharp decline, suggesting a potential further decline in the price to new lows.

The H1 chart presents a consolidation phase around 1.0824, followed by a potential drop to 1.0784. After reaching this level, the price may rebound to 1.0850 before descending again to 1.0720.
