The EUR/USD currency pairTechnical indicators of the currency pair:
The European Central Bank (ECB) is signaling that it is increasingly considering rate cuts, according to reports of its October meeting. While inflation is expected to fall, mainly due to falling energy prices, officials remain cautious about domestic inflationary pressures, especially strong wage growth and sluggish labor productivity. Despite the more optimistic inflation outlook, the ECB emphasized the importance of gathering more data before making policy changes. Policymakers emphasized that any decision to cut the rate would depend on the economic outlook and further evidence of easing inflationary pressures.Trading recommendations
The EUR/USD currency pair’s hourly trend is bearish. Yesterday, on volume spike, the price bounced from the support level of 1.0518, confirming the buyers’ initiative. Considering the MACD divergence, correction should be expected. Inside the day, we can look for buying up to the resistance level of 1.0593. A breakout of 1.0593 will open the price way to 1.0654. However, if sellers show a reaction at 1.0593, the price will likely resume its downward momentum.Alternative scenario:if the price breaks the resistance level of 1.0654 and consolidates above it, the uptrend will likely resume.(Click on image to enlarge)

On an annualized basis, GDP grew by 0.9% in the third quarter, a significant slowdown from the 2.2% growth in the second quarter. Uncertainty over BoJ policy normalization remains as mixed economic data and the recent political shake-up cloud the outlook.Trading recommendations

From the latter one, we can look for buy trades, provided the buyers react.Alternative scenario:if the price breaks down the support level of 154.32, the downtrend will likely resume.(Click on image to enlarge)
