The EUR/USD currency pairTechnical indicators of the currency pair:
On Wednesday, hawkish comments from the ECB supported the EUR after ECB Governing Council representatives Makhlouf and Kazaks warned that further ECB rate hikes may be necessary to control inflation. In addition, the ECB’s monthly survey of consumer inflation expectations showed that Eurozone 1-year inflation expectations rose to a 5-month high in September, which is hawkish for ECB policy.Trading recommendations
The trend on the EUR/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bullish. The price is again trading above the moving averages. The MACD indicator has become positive, but the momentum indicates some weakness of the buyers. Buying can be sought from the support levels at 1.0677 or, in case of a deeper decline, from 1.0657. Falling below 1.0634 is undesirable as it will start to change the sentiment, and the uptrend will be jeopardized. Sell deals should be considered after testing the resistance level of 1.0726, but with confirmation in the form of sellers’ reaction.Alternative scenario: if the price breaks the support level of 1.0522 and consolidates below it, the downtrend will likely resume.(Click on image to enlarge)News feed for 2023.11.09:
