EUR/USD: Two long scenarios with a target of 1.09!

16 nov 2023

The EUR/USD currency pair recently reached a high of 1.0896, the highest level since late August, before experiencing a slight pullback below 1.0850. Despite softer-than-expected US economic data and lower Treasury yields, the pair remains above its moving averages on the daily chart. The short-term technical outlook suggests a potential upward movement, with indicators on the 4-hour chart showing signs of recovery. The US Dollar has modestly recovered after a recent decline, as investors anticipate the Federal Reserve's reluctance to further raise rates and the possibility of a new rate-cut cycle. Financial markets turned optimistic, leading to a decline in the safe-haven US Dollar and pushing EUR/USD closer to 1.0900. It's noted that other US economic data indicates a relatively stronger local economy, which could potentially strengthen the US Dollar in the future. Before Wall Street's opening, ECB President Christine Lagarde highlighted the resilience of the European financial system in avoiding severe systemic risks. On the daily chart, two possible long scenarios are marked, one with a retracement, which is the one I will target for a long entry, and then the second scenario that predicts a direct rise tomorrow towards 1.09.
