EURUSD LONG: Trade Carefully As Sellers Might Ambush Anytime!With the markets pivoting in the FED's aggressive hiking cycle, there is a fear is the market that the DXY would take a temporary breathing room and consolidate further. But make no mistake! DXY is still in the uptrend as the US economy is showing resilience thus making FED less worried in their quest to tame the inflation by hiking interest rates. Even if the FED pivots by the end of year, the interest rate differentials between USD and other major currency is still going to be wide thus making USD more valuable.
As said above, EURUSD is still on major sell trend, here according to technical picture there is a slight room for EURUSD to appreciate towards the 1.01250 area. Beyond this, we need further level break on technical level to assure that EURUSD would keep rising as it faces multiple stern resistance. Have a look at the main chart for all the technical aspects behind this trading idea.
Trade Safe & Cautiously.

EURGBP: Pound weaker?EURGBP
Intraday - We look to Buy at 0.8580 (stop at 0.8530)
There is no sign that this bearish momentum is faltering but the pair has stalled close to a previous swing low of 0.8579. We are trading at oversold extremes. This is positive for short term sentiment and we look to set longs at good risk/reward levels for a further correction higher. Further upside is expected although we prefer to buy into dips close to the 0.8580 level.
Our profit targets will be 0.8730 and 0.8815
Resistance: 0.8700 / 0.8815 / 0.8930
Support: 0.8565 / 0.8340 / 0.8200

After ECB, it's FED's turn Yesterday ECB raised the rates just as expected.
There wasn't much of a reaction which most likely means, everything will be decided during FED next week.
Technically, we had a rejection of the 1,0090 level.
A potential entry would be on the re-test of that level and further rejection.
We have to wait for confirmation, the upside move is done and we are going to see a continuation of the downtrend!
EUR/USD Loses Ground After ECB Rate Hike, U.S. GDP dataThe EUR/USD pair fell Thursday following the European Central Bank interest rate decision, which was followed by cautious comments from President Christine Lagarde during the press conference. At the same time, the greenback is gaining ground thanks to solid GDP readings.
At the time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at the 1.0000 area, 0.70% below its opening price, after being rejected from a high of 1.0093.
The European Central Bank announced today its decision to hike rates by 75 basis points for the second time in a row. During the press conference, Christine Lagarde said economic activity in the euro area will likely have contracted "significantly" in the third quarter and will likely continue to do so for the rest of 2022 and 2023 due to higher prices and falling real wages.
When asked about inflation and forward guidance, ECB President stated that "there is still ground to cover," but the future path and pace will be decided meeting by meeting and will remain data-dependent. Lagarde confirmed that higher rates are needed to reach their medium-term target, but she refrained from giving more insights into her estimations of the neutral rate.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released its first estimates of the third-quarter Gross Domestic Product. Q3 GDP growth came in at 2.6%, above the 2.4% increase expected. Other data revealed that Durable Goods Orders increased by 0.4% in September, below the 0.6% expected. The focus will now shift to next week's Fed meeting when the broad market consensus expects another 75 bps hike.
From a technical standpoint, the EUR/USD short-term bias looks neutral, according to indicators on the daily chart. The RSI has turned south but remains above its midline, while the MACD printed a lower green bar, indicating a dwindling buying interest.
At the same time, the price remains capped by the 100-day SMA (1.0087) and moves to test the broken channel as support at the 0.9910 area. A break below could add pressure on the euro, with the following supports seen at 0.9830, 20-day SMA, and 0.9800.
If the EUR/USD manages to overcome the 100-day SMA, the next resistances could be found at September's highs in the 1.0200 zone.
EURUSD Retreats after Rebound FaltersThe EUR/USD encounters solid resistance near 1.0100.
The pair's continuous jerk comes on the heels of the greenback's weak recovery, which tries to restore some equilibrium following the recent steep sell-off, as the prospect of the Fed slowing the pace of its tightening plans appears as the immediate threat to the buck's further gains.
Investors are taking profits before of the important ECB rate rise decision and the US advance Q3 GDP release.
Meanwhile, extra emphasis is expected to be focused on Chair Lagarde's next news conference.
On Thursday, the dollar, as measured by the USD Index (DXY), recovers somewhat from prior lows near 109.50.
The risk-associated assets saw a lull in their rapid upward momentum, which was amplified by growing rumors of a probable Fed pivot. This has caused the dollar to rise higher.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve's firmer commitment to maintain raising rates until inflation appears well under control, despite an anticipated slowdown in economic growth and some loss of momentum in the labor market, continues to support the index's underlying bullish tone.
ECB Interest Rate Decision PreparationThe ECB is due to release its interest rate decision today 8:15pm (GMT+8)
The current market forecast is for a 75bps hike, taking the interest rate from 1.25% to 2.00%. This decision is likely to have been fully priced in.
The EURUSD had climbed to reach a high of 1.0095 on the back of the DXY weakness and possibly with markets anticipating the 75bps rate hike to come. Currently, the EURUSD is retracing as the DXY recovers by bouncing off the 109.50 price area.
In the lead-up to the news release, I'll be keen to see
1) a deeper retracement between 1.00 and 1.0040
2) price to stay above the parity level
That will allow for a buy-stop order at 1.0050, stop loss below parity and take profit towards the 1.019 60 resistance level, resulting in a 1:2 risk-reward trade setup. If the ECB disappoints, or if the price breaks lower on the release of the news, due to the priced in effect, then I'd cancel the order.
Remember that volatility in the EURUSD will have a significant impact on the DXY, which could affect all major currencies, especially in the short term.
EUR/USD eyes ECB rate decisionEUR/USD is in a holding pattern ahead of today's ECB rate meeting. In the European session, the euro is trading at 1.0068, down 0.16%.
The ECB holds its policy meeting later today, amidst difficult economic conditions in the eurozone. Inflation jumped to 9.9% in September, up sharply from 9.1%. The manufacturing and services sectors are in decline and confidence levels are low. The markets have priced in a 0.75% hike and there has even been talk of a jumbo full-point increase. Could the ECB surprise with a lower-than-expected hike of 0.50%? Earlier this week, the Bank of Canada (BoC) and Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) both delivered smaller hikes than expected, at 0.50% and 0.25%, respectively. The message from both central banks is that they are close to ending their rate-tightening cycles and expect inflation to peak in the next several months.
Will the ECB follow suit? It's possible but unlikely. The ECB only entered the tightening game in July, and the current benchmark of 1.25% remains out-of-sync with inflation, which is close to double-digits and the ECB needs to be aggressive if it hopes to beat inflation. The benchmark rates are much higher in Canada (3.75%) and Australia (2.60%) and have slowed economic growth, while the ECB's low benchmark rate has not had the same effect. Still, the weak eurozone economy could tip into recession as a result of sharp rate hikes, which means that a 0.50% hike cannot be completely discounted. We can expect some movement from EUR/USD in response to the ECB decision - an increase of 0.75% or 1.00% will be bullish for the currency, while a 0.50% hike would disappoint investors and likely send the euro lower.
There is resistance at 1.0095 and 1.0154
0.9924 and 0.9814 are the next support levels
EURJPY:Rate hike push Eur?EURJPY
Intraday - We look to Buy at 145.55 (stop at 144.70)
Selling pressure from 147.70 resulted in all the initial daily gains being overturned. The current move lower is expected to continue. The reaction lower is negative, however, we view this as an opportunity to set longs in line with the overall bullish move higher. We therefore, prefer to fade into the dip with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back higher.
Our profit targets will be 147.95 and 151.00
Resistance: 147.25 / 151.00 / 155.00
Support: 144.30 / 141.70 / 138.85

EURUSD breaking higher ahead of ECB- Elliott Wave AnalysisEURUSD is breaking higher, now trading above parity, which is a big bull/bear line so it's important to respect the possibility of further gains into wave C/3. Leg up should then be made by five waves from 0.9635, thus more gains should follow after wave four pullback. Ideally, price will look for 1.02 in sessions ahead, especially if ECB will remain hawkish. Bears trend below 0.987.
Important news for EURUSD Today we have ECB Interest Rates decision.
We should see them going up by 0.75%.
No matter what will be the bank's decision, we're going to see big moves on EURUSD.
We could see more bullish pressure on EURUSD, but we have to keep in mind that FED is also coming out with their decision soon.
That means, whatever upside move we see today, it could reverse pretty soon.
That's why, we think the best decision today would be to wait for the news and look for entries after that.
Also, price reaching higher levels will only give us a better sell opportunities.
EUR/USD punches above parity, ECB nextEUR/USD continues to power forward and has breached the parity line for the first time since September 20th. The euro is red hot, having gained 2.1% this week, as the US dollar has hit a bump in the road and is lower against all the major currencies. In the North American session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0069, up 1.02%.
The German economy, the largest in the eurozone, continues to show signs of weakness. September PMIs pointed to contraction in manufacturing and business activity, and these are unlikely to rebound as the Ukraine war continues and an energy crisis looms, with winter close by. The Ifo Business Confidence index fell for a fourth straight month in October and GfK Consumer Sentiment, which will be released tomorrow, is expected to remain deep in negative territory.
The ECB meets on Thursday, with policy makers having to contend not only with a gloomy economic outlook in the eurozone, but also with spiralling inflation, with no sign of a peak. Eurozone CPI jumped to 9.9% in September, up sharply from the 9.1% rise in August. The markets have priced in a supersize 0.75% hike, which would bring the cash rate to 2.0% and investors will be looking for the Bank to declare its commitment to bring inflation back to the 2% target.
A jumbo full-point increase remains a slight possibility, given that inflation is close to double-digits. Investors will be monitoring the follow-up press conference, and the euro's direction tomorrow could depend on ECB President Lagarde's message to the markets. If Lagarde signals that further rate hikes are coming, the euro will likely gain ground. Conversely, a dovish stance from Lagarde could cut short the euro's rally.
EUR/USD has broken above 0.9846 and is testing resistance at 0.9985. The next resistance line is 1.0095
There is support at 0.9753 and 0.9643
EUR/USD Extends Gains Above Parity Ahead Of ECB MeetingThe EUR/USD pair is rising for the sixth day in a row on Wednesday as the greenback continues to face selling pressure while investors gear up for Thursday’s European Central Bank interest rate decision.
At the time of writing, the EUR/USD pair is trading at the 1.0060 zone, 1% above its opening price. The euro reached its highest level in six weeks against the greenback at 1.0080 so far.
On Thursday, the ECB will decide on monetary policy. Expectations remain hawkish as the WIRP tool suggests a 75 bps hike is completely priced in. Meanwhile, the swaps markets are betting on another 75 bps increase in December and a 50 bps increase at February’s meeting.
Investors will watch President Christine Lagarde’s press conference, especially on economic assessments and forward guidance. At the last meeting, Lagarde stated that she only knew the terminal rates were “far away” from current levels, but that following decisions would depend on incoming data.
Meanwhile, investors bet the FOMC will almost certainly hike by 75 bps on November 2. Still, swaps markets are building a stronger case for a 50 bps hike for the December 15 meeting, while a week ago probability was only 20%. Against this backdrop, the greenback has begun losing interest, with the DXY already down 1.8% this week. At the time of writing, the DXY is trading at the 109.80 area, its lowest level in five weeks. U.S. Q3 GDP data will also be on the docket on Thursday.
From a technical perspective, the EUR/USD short-term outlook has turned more constructive as indicators gain ground on the daily chart and the price has broken out above a descending trendline drawn from February highs. However, the chart suggests that the pair could stage a technical correction before the next leg higher as the RSI is swiftly approaching overbought levels.
On the upside, the next resistances are seen at the 100-day SMA, 1.0092, and the 1.0100 level, ahead of the September monthly high of 1.0197. On the other hand, support levels could be faced at parity and the 0.9900 zone, ahead of the 20-day SMA currently at 0.9823.
EUR/USD Outlook (26 October 2022)The EURUSD surges higher from the support level of 0.9852, but with no clear fundamental driver. This move higher could be the front running and hawkish sentiment from the market that the ECB will increase rates by 75bps (and possibly even 100bps)
With the price approaching the 1.00 (parity) level again, look for price action development to determine the next possible move.
A break of the resistance level could see the EURUSD trade higher towards 1.020 (the next key resistance level). Whilst a rejection of the resistance level could see the EURUSD fall back toward the support level of 0.9850 (however this is an unlikely scenario, given the interest rate hike on the horizon for the ECB)
EURJPY D1 - Short SignalEURJPY D1 - Daily timeframe analysis here following yesterdays daily close which failed to breach and set new highs. Strong bullish daily candle, but hoping for a rejection candle here to take price back down towards that 144 handle, healthy 300 pip range possible due to unfold.
Nothing has changed on EURUSDRight now, the situation on EURUSD remains the same as yesterday.
It's heading towards 0,9950 - the level where we should see a reaction.
It's also important to know that this week, we have ECB Interest Rates.
This will definitely bring some volatility and it also makes the entries before the news more risky.
That's why we have to wait for the right moment only after confirmation.
EURUSD: ECB Interest Rate Decision next weekOn Friday the 21st, we saw the USD drop on a bad Monthly Budget Statement. This has given us reason to think that investors will not be looking at the dollar as a safe haven currency.
There might be a long term trend reversal in play next week ahead of the ECB Interest Rate Decision.
An increase of the interest rates should act as bullish catalyst for the Euro.
Wait for a breakout of the long term trend line, and look for signs of bullish continuation to the upside on the retest of the long term trend line.
Good luck traders.
EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of October 21, 2022Technical Analysis and Outlook:
The Eurodollar bounced swiftly from our Mean Sup 0.9700 and rested at our Mean Res 0.9860; however, retesting the Mean Res 0.9987 and 1.0020 is probable. The significant downside move is a) from the current position, b) From up the ante restarting down move of 1.0020. The main targets continue to be our Key Sup 0.9595 and completed Inner Currency Dip 0.9570. Continuation to the next Outer Currency Dip of 0.9370 is in the making.
EURJPY Sell Idea Hello traders.
EURJPY formed a double top at multiyear High levels.
However, during evening of yesterday, some big players closed their positions and as a result the market direction was occured due to the surpass of sellers.
I think that the psychology of this pair is mainly short and any spike can be considered as a sell opportunity either if it touches the trend line again or if it touches the upper resistance zone.
My long term target is approx. 137 zone which is a OB and strong demand zone.
But there are plenty intermediate take profit levels on other support areas.
Today's Lagarde's speech will be of importance about the future of this pair.
EURGBP This Week: What's New ? Good Evening,
Despite of the meetings the European Central Bank did and especially Bank of England in which it raised the inflation recently, we need to talk in technical analysis language and in an easy simplified language in which traders out there can claim what's going on.
So here are the key points:
- There is bearish order block set in 0.87081 level which is a good sign we're still safe going bear, in addition to a character of change that was broken below from the previous lower low.
- Speaking of EMA's, the current candle is ready to the 50 EMA. Hopefully, things are still going in our favor (for those who are willing to go short).
- In sort of Technical Indicators, the very most popular indicators, MACD, for example, admits
strongly for going short in addition to RSI, was previously overbought and still in a high level.
I can go much more further and give more and more advanced analysis, but I like to keep things simple and easy to catch so traders can find my analysis quite handy.
EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of October 14, 2022Technical Analysis and Outlook:
The Eurodollar's failed attempt to retest our Mean Res 0.9987 indicates high negative market sentiment; however, the retest of the newly created Mean Res 0.9780 is probable. As specified in the EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of October 7, the main downside targets continue to be our Key Sup 0.9595 and completed Inner Currency Dip 0.9570. Continuation to the next Outer Currency Dip of 0.9370 is in the making.
EURO Threatening To Break Major Support. Keep Your Eyes Open!The major support at 0.96000 is being threatened to break, once this happens we can expect the price to head way down at next support/ demand zone located at 0.87000. With the FED tightening aggressively to tame the inflation, the likely hood of DXY momentum gaining traction is highly likely! This in turn could make the EURO fall gradually towards 0.87000 level.
On the technical note, the main monthly chart of EURUSD shows everything in detail, however in order to trade this wonderful opportunity, we require the weekly candle to close below 0.96000 first after that a short trade can be executed based on the ideal risk reward ratio.
All in all its a wonderful opportunity both on technical and fundamental note, all is needed now is for the weekly candle to pierce 0.96000 level then i will post another post that includes the trade details.
Trade cautiously and safely. cheers
