Fundamental Overview

The EURUSD pair is up this Thursday, despite renewed risk-aversion. Safe-haven assets advance against the greenback, while the latter appreciates against most other rivals, except the shared currency.

Stocks plunged in Europe, dragging Wall Street’s futures lower, amid concerns related to the spread of the coronavirus Delta variant and signs of slowing global growth. Treasury yields are sharply down to multi-month lows, indicating a strong appetite for safety.

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank has shifted to a symmetric inflation target of 2% contrary to a ceiling at that level, allowing higher inflation to compensate for previous undershooting. President Christine Lagarde is set to offer a speech and explain the decision ahead of Wall Street’s opening.

Macroeconomic figures have missed expectations. The German Trade Balance posted a modest surplus of €12.6 billion in May, while Initial Jobless Claims in the US resulted in 373K in the week ended July 2, both worse than expected.

 Technical Analysis

EURUSD holds onto gains near 1.1850 after ECB strategy announcement.

The ECB announced a shift to a symmetric inflation target of 2% rather than aiming to cap price rises at that level. President Lagarde’s speech is awaited.

 

The EURUSD pair trades near a daily high of 1.1852. The 4-hour chart shows that it has managed to advance above a mildly bearish 20 SMA, although the longer moving averages maintain their bearish slopes well above the current level.

The RSI advances, heading north within positive levels, but the Momentum hovers below its midline, with limited upward strength. Bulls may regain control once the pair extends gains beyond 1.1920, a strong static Fibonacci resistance level. Given the prevalent dismal mood, the risk remains skewed to the downside.

Support levels are set at 1.1795, 1.1750, and 1.1710. Resistance levels are at 1.1885, 1.1920, and 1.1960.

 For next week, EURUSD is approaching the support line. It has formed a falling wedge and bullish divergence is displayed on many indicators, as illustrated in the following chart, which signals about possible local reversal movements. Our technical indicators are suggesting to go Long on the currency pair at or below 1.18650, setting a Stop loss at 1.17002, and Short it at or above 1.21, setting a Stop loss at 1.22.
