Fundamental Overview

The EURUSD pair recovers modestly from a fresh 2021 low of 1.1665, now trading around the 1.1700 mark. Financial markets are in risk-off mode, following the release of the FOMC Meeting Minutes on Wednesday, indicating that US policymakers have escalated their tapering discussions, with speculative interest rushing to price in an announcement next September in Jackson Hole.

Ahead of Wall Street’s opening, European indexes trade in the red, dragging US futures to their lowest for August. At the same time, demand for safety had pushed government bonds higher and yields to fresh weekly lows.

US data was mixed, as the August Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey contracted to 19.4, missing expectations, while Initial Jobless Claims for the week ended August 13 unexpectedly improved to 348K. Earlier in the day, the EU published the June Current Account, which posted a seasonally-adjusted surplus of €21.8 billion.

 Technical Analysis

EURUSD pressured around 1.17 after Fed minutes, on risk-off mood, trading at the lowest since November 2020. The dollar is gaining ground after the Fed´s meeting minutes signaled tapering of its bond-buying scheme is on the agenda. US jobless claims shrank to 348K beating expectations.

 

The EURUSD pair corrects oversold conditions, although the risk remains skewed to the downside. The above 4-hour chart shows that the pair keeps developing far below a bearish 20 SMA, while the longer ones remain far above the latter.

Technical indicators are recovering modestly but remain well into negative territory. The pair could recover up to 1.1750, although sellers will likely defend the level.

Support levels are at 1.1660, 1.1620, and 1.1570. Resistance levels are at 1.1750, 1.1790, and 1.1830.

For next week, EURUSD on the following 4h chart is moving a descending channel over a weekly support. The price after the last bounce over the structure tested the 0.5 Fibonacci level and according to Plancton’s strategy, if the market will break below we can set a nice short order. Hence, our technical indicators suggest to go Short on the currency pair at or above 1.17105, setting a stop loss at 1.1750, and to go Long at or below 1.16588, setting a stop loss at 1.1750.
