EURUSD: Is there still motivation to increase prices?
The EUR/USD pair is extending its sideways consolidation trend in Tuesday's trading session and is trading below the 1.070 level. However, the price is still attempting to hold above the 1.0700 level and is dependent on the price dynamics of the US Dollar (USD).
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the greenback against a basket of currencies, has rebounded from nearly an 8-week low overnight and turned out to be a key resistance factor for the EUR/USD pair. Officials from the Federal Reserve have provided mixed signals about the future interest rate hike path, leading to an increase in US Treasury bond yields on Monday and prompting some short-term positioning in USD.
On the 4-hour chart analysis: EUR/USD has just surpassed the resistance at 1.068 and, according to price action principles, is currently in the process of retesting the previous breakout zone and testing the EMA line. If favorable, EUR/USD may continue to find support at this level and further develop. On the other hand, breaking below the current support level could push EUR/USD back to a lower figure estimated at 1.060.
