Fundamental Overview

On Thursday, the speech from the European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde will guide investors about the likely monetary policy action in February. Declining energy prices in Eurozone have softened inflation, however, the current inflation rate is still far from the median rate. Therefore, investors should brace for a hawkish commentary from European Central Bank’s Lagarde ahead.

According to economists polled by Bloomberg, the deposit rate will be raised to a peak of 3.25% from its current level of 2% in three steps. The survey shows two half-point hikes at the February and March meetings, followed by a 25 basis-point increase in May or June.

Meanwhile, European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Wednesday, it’s “too early to speculate about what we will do in March.” However, he believed that Lagarde’s earlier 50 bps guidance is still valid.

Technical Analysis

EURUSD clings to gains above 1.0800 on ECB’s Lagarde.

The pair is supported by falling US Treasury yields, which are weighing on the US Dollar amid looming recession fears. ECB President Lagarde voices support for more rate hikes to tame inflation. ECB Minutes eyed.

EURUSD is looking to find support around the upward-sloping trendline of the Ascending Triangle chart pattern plotted from January 10 low at 1.0712 on an hourly scale. The horizontal resistance of the aforementioned chart pattern is placed from January 12 high at 1.0867.

The 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0800 is acting as a major barrier for the Euro. While, the 200-EMA at 1.0774 is still advancing, which indicates that the upside trend is still solid.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in a 40.00-60.00 range, which indicates a consolidation ahead.

For next week, EURUSD continues to consolidate in the range of 1.08669 – 1.07573, testing the support, after which, the price again headed for the retest of the limit resistance.

The trend remains dominated by the Institution buyers, as a fairly confident position on the following chart can be interpreted as a possible continuation of growth.

Indeed, the price is in consolidation, but at the same time, there are attempts to break 1.08669. We believe in the near future, under the pressure of dynamic buyers and the strong trend, the bulls will win over the bears and break the resistance.

We are expecting a breakdown of 1.08669 and impulse formation. The short-term target is 1.0938; the medium-term target is 1.10500. Hence, our technical analysis are suggesting going Short at or above 1.0870, setting a stop loss at 1.1050, and going Long at or below 1.0869, setting a stop loss at 1.0753.

As of 12:77 PM (GMT), the EURUSD was trading at 1.08212.
