EUR/USD - Coasting into year-end?
The end of the year is drawing near and some markets may finally be in holiday mode.
EURUSD has been range-bound for a month and last week could have provided the catalyst to change that - Fed accelerating tapering and bringing forward rate hikes, ECB ending PEPP - but instead, it just confirmed that markets were well positioned.
Now it seems they may be snoozing into year-end. But where does that leave us? The pair remains in a bearish pattern and unless we get a break higher, the path of least resistance remains below.
But it could be argued that the recent consolidation is a holding pattern that could precede a trend reversal. A move above 1.14 would certainly support that, breaking the highs and the 200/233-period SMA on the 4-hour chart.
A break of 1.15 remains the big test though.
