The EUR/USD pair is still having a time because investors are being careful before the Federal Reserve makes its latest decision on monetary policy. Even though the Euro has stopped falling after losing some value it is still struggling to get past the important 1.1400 level.
People think the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates the same. They will still sound like they are ready to act if needed. This means traders are getting ready for the market to get more volatile. What the Federal Reserve says after their meeting will be really important for the EUR/USD pair.
The euro got a little better after it hit a point around 1.1300 earlier this week. It is still not strong enough to get past 1.1400. Investors do not want to take risks before they hear what the Federal Reserve has to say. The US dollar is still strong. People are worried about inflation and high energy prices, which is also helping the US dollar.
Federal Reserve Takes Center Stage
The Federal Reserve meeting is the thing that will affect the EUR/USD pair right now. Most people think they will not change interest rates.. There is still a chance they might raise rates again so what they say after the meeting will be really important.
If the Federal Reserve says they are still worried about inflation and might raise rates again the US Dollar could get even stronger which would hurt the Euro. On the hand if they sound less sure about raising rates the US Dollar might get weaker and the Euro could recover.
In Europe the European Central Bank is being careful about what they say about policy. They know there are risks of inflation because of high oil prices.. They are not giving clear clues about what they will do next which is making it hard for traders to know what to do.
When we look at the analysis of EUR/USD we can see that it is stuck in a weak trading range. The indicators that show how strong the market is say that buyers are not very strong and it is hard for them to take control.
There are some levels to watch:
1.1400 is the first level of resistance
1.1440 is the recent high point
1.1480 is the top of the recent trading range
If the EUR/USD pair can stay above these levels it could make buyers more confident and encourage them to buy more.
There are also some support levels:
1.1324 is the low point for the year so far
1.1245 is a level of support based on Fibonacci extension
1.1210 is a longer-term support level
If the EUR/USD pair breaks below 1.1324 sellers might get more confident and push the pair down to even lower levels.
Traders are watching a things closely:
What the Federal Reserve chairman says about future interest rate policy
The outlook for inflation in the United States
How oil prices move
What the European Central Bank says about rate decisions
Any surprises from these things could make the market very volatile.
For now the outlook for EUR/USD is cautious. Long as it is below 1.1400 sellers have a slight advantage.. The Federal Reserves decision could change everything quickly.
If the Federal Reserve sounds tough it could make the US Dollar stronger. Put more pressure on the Euro.. If they sound less tough it could make investors want to buy the Euro and try to push it up to 1.1400 again.
The EUR/USD pair is still trading carefully below 1.1400 as investors wait for the Federal Reserve to make its decision. Even though the Euro has stopped falling people are still not very confident until the Federal Reserve gives them clues about what they will do next.
For now traders should watch the technical levels and listen to what the Federal Reserve says because it will probably determine what happens to the EUR/USD pair next.
