Fundamental Analysis

  • Significant decline in EUR/USD, dropping for the 11th consecutive week.

EURUSD Technical Analysis

Analyzing the daily chart of EUR/USD, we can confirm that it is moving between the -2σ to -3σ of the Bollinger Bands. Despite the downtrend, the RSI is hovering around 30, suggesting potential for a bounce back.

The price is nearing the round number of 1.05 dollars, and it’s expected that there are many buy limit orders placed. Observing market sentiment, 91% are on the buying side, suggesting the need for caution against sudden price fluctuations. A return to the level near the conversion line of the Ichimoku Cloud is also possible.

One reason for this trend is the end of interest rate hikes by the ECB, making it easier for funds to flow into the USD.
