EUR/USD doesn’t dare to break higher before the ECB meeting
FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/USD returned to the middle of the 4-days range 1.35-1.3540 after the attempts to break the roof didn’t succeed.
EUR is lazy, and Draghi will stop it
The pair is still confined to narrow 40-pip range 1.35-1.3540, but it won’t last for long. Today is a big day for currency markets, as the ECB may have some dovish rabbits in its hat. The series of mixed data only supports the notion that the region growth is fragile, and some more stimulus, is needed in order to revive the business activity. If we see either the ECB with a new stimulus program, or Draghi with some hints on long period of accommodation, it may put the pair under pressure. To the downside the support comes at 1.3505, and followed by 1.3473. The upside is limited by 1.3589 resistance level.
What are today’s key EUR/USD levels?
Today's central pivot point can be found at 1.3531, with support below at 1.3505, 1.3473 and 1.3447, with resistance above at 1.3563, 1.3589, and 1.3621. Hourly Moving Averages are largely bearish, with the 200SMA at 1.3585 and the daily 20EMA bearish at 1.3595. Hourly RSI is neutral at 49.
