EURUSD Technical Analysis
Analyzing the 4-hour chart of the EUR/USD pair, the RSI has reversed at the 50 level. The 24-period moving average is currently above the price, acting as a support line. However, if movements below the 24-period moving average are observed, a bearish trend might continue.
As for economic indicators, the Eurozone’s CPI falling below market expectations has made the deceleration of inflation evident. On the other hand, the direction of the EUR/USD market could change significantly depending on the future outlook of U.S. policy rates. To capture short-term movements, it’s essential to monitor the movements of the 24-period moving average and the U.S. interest rate outlook.
