EURUSD Technical Analysis
Analyzing the daily chart for EURUSD. EURUSD momentarily broke below the descending trend line, appearing to fall. However, it has now risen above the trend line again, and yesterday, the baseline of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo acted as a support line. It has also surpassed the 240-day moving average, leading to a directionless market situation.
Today’s U.S. PCE Price Index is a significant inflation indicator and is under scrutiny. The previous CPI and PPI both exceeded market expectations, significantly delaying the timing of the Fed’s rate cut. If tonight’s PCE Price Index also exceeds expectations, the rate cut in June could be in doubt. The immediate resistance line is around 1.088 USD.
