FxNews—On Monday, some bad news from the Middle East scared people and caused the markets to go down. But now, people seem less worried, and the markets are improving.
Usually, when people are scared about what’s happening in the world, they buy more dollars because they see it as a safe option, like keeping their Pokemon cards in a protective case. But now that things are calmer, they don’t feel the need to do this as much.
No More Rate Hikes Says Fed Officials
Also, Federal Reserve officials (like the Pokemon card club president) have hinted that they won’t increase interest rates anymore. Interest rates are like the membership fee for the Pokemon card club – fewer people want to join if it is high. So, if interest rates aren’t rising, that’s good news for people who want to buy dollars.
However, whether this continues will depend on some important information we expect over the next few days. This includes data on inflation and some notes from the last meeting of the Federal Reserve. These could give us some clues about what might happen next.
EURUSD Market Analysis – Bullish vs Bearish
Despite the recent bullish sentiment surrounding the Euro, the EUR/USD pair has yet to close outside its declining channel or above the pivotal 1.065 mark. Think of this like a game of tug-of-war. The ‘bulls’ (those betting on the Euro to increase in value) have been pulling hard, but they haven’t managed to drag the ‘rope’ (the value of the Euro) past the ‘line’ (the 1.065 pivot).
Our outlook remains bearish as long as the EUR/USD trades below this pivot and inside the channel. This means we believe the value could decrease, potentially to 1.041, the support level.
However, if the bulls close above the pivot on a daily chart, this would halt the downtrend. It’s like they’ve finally pulled the rope past the line in our game of tug-of-war. This could pave the way to a resistance area of 1.081.
