Fundamental Analysis

• The US ISM Non-Manufacturing Employment Index showed strong results, pushing the USD/JPY out of its consolidation phase to reach new highs.
• Federal Reserve officials are cautious about rate cuts, pushing back the expected timing.
• USD/JPY has reached the late 148 JPY range, and breaking into the 149 JPY range could bring the 150 JPY range into view.

EURUSD Technical Analysis

Analyzing the daily chart of the EUR/USD, it is currently hitting an upward trend line and showing some rebound, indicating it is being watched. The 1.072 USD to 1.075 USD range has seen significant rebounds in the past and may be watched again.

The overlap of the upward trend line and support band suggests that a rapid decline is unlikely. Moreover, with the Dollar Index reaching a 12-week high yesterday, there might be some adjustments today.

Whether it can break through 1.0725 USD is a key point of interest.
