EUR/USD: FOMC Statement and Federal Funds Rate

The European Common Currency depreciated against the US Dollar, following the FOMC Statement release on Wednesday at 18:00 GMT. The EUR/USD exchange currency rate lost 20 pips or 0.18% right after the release. The Euro continued trading at the 1.1105 level against the Greenback.

The Federal Reserve released the Federal Funds Rate data, which came out in line with the expectations of 2.00%.

According to the official release: "Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. In light of the implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 1-3/4 to 2 percent. This action supports the Committee's view that sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the Committee's symmetric 2 percent objective are the most likely outcomes, but uncertainties about this outlook remain."

EURUSD Analysis: trades at 1.1000

EUR/USD
On Friday, the EUR/USD currency pair tumbled to the 1.1000 level. During today's morning, the pair tried to surpass the 1.1020 mark.

Note, that the exchange rate has been trading within the descending channel since last Wednesday. Thus, it is likely that the rate could reverse north from its lower boundary located circa 1.0900. It is unlikely, that the rate could exceed 1.1040 due to resistance formed by the 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs, as well the weekly PP.

If the given channel does not hold, it is likely that a breakout south could occur in the nearest future. In this case the currency pair could face support of the weekly S1 located at the 1.0979 mark. If the given support does not hold, the pair could decline to the lower boundary of the medium-term ascending channel located in the 1.0960 area.

FX Strategists at UOB Group suggested "EUR/USD still faces extra downside pressure"

No shit! :idea:

EUR/USD risks a test of lower levels


Key Quotes

24-hour view: “While we expected EUR to “weaken further” yesterday, we held the view that the “next support at 1.0975 is unlikely to come into the picture”. The subsequent weakness exceeded our expectation as EUR plummeted to 1.0964 before rebounding quickly. Despite the recovery, the underlying tone remains soft and it is too early to expect a significant rebound. EUR is more likely to consolidate its loss and trade sideways at these lower levels, likely between 1.0970 and 1.1115”.

Next 1-3 weeks: “EUR dropped to 1.0964 before closing at a 3-week low of 1.0991 (-0.24%). While downward momentum has picked up, we still view the current price action as part of a broad sideway-trading phase (same view since 13 Sep, spot at 1.1055). That said, the weakened underlying tone suggests it could edge lower towards the bottom of the expected 1.0925/1.1100 range first range (narrowed from 1.0925/1.1130 previously). At this stage, the prospect for a sustained decline below 1.0925 is not high”.

EURUSD Analysis: trades near 2019 low

Just remember, this pair has been in a downtrend since 2011. It's not going up any time soon! :angel:

EUR/USD Analysis: trades near 2019 low

During Wednesday, the EUR/USD currency pair breached the medium-term ascending channel south. During today's morning, the pair was trading near the 2019 low at 1.0931.

Note that the exchange rate could gain support of the weekly S2 at the 1.0937 mark. If the given support holds, it is likely that the rate could reverse north in the nearest future. It is unlikely that the rate could exceed the weekly S1 at 1.0979.

However, note that the currency pair is pressured by the 55-, 100– and 200-hour SMAs, currently located in the 1.0983/1.1019 area. Thus, it is likely that some downside potential could prevail in the market, and the pair could reach the 1.0920 mark.
