EUR/USD: trading sideways

EUR/USD: trading sideways

Information is not investment advice

The pair bounced off the key resistance at 1.1900. All eyes on the NFP.

Fundamentals

The overall trend of EUR/USD has been bullish since the middle of March. The main reason for that rally has been the weak greenback. Why does the USD continue dipping? Firstly, investors avoid it as yields are decreasing in the USA. Secondly, Democrats and Republicans can’t make an agreement on the fiscal stimulus. This uncertainty weighs on the USD. Finally, the ADP report yesterday turned out much worse than analysts expected. Employment rose only by 167 000, while analysts predicted 1.2 million. Quite a huge gap! The data proves that the US labor market is still suffering from the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, investors anticipate that NFP will be worse than the forecasts tomorrow.

However, it seems that the upside rally has slowed down. The pair has been risen not as steeply as before. Nevertheless, most analysts have bullish prospects on the euro. It may be just a natural correction. After it, the pair should continue edging up again. It hasn’t been any important economic events for the euro on the calendar this week. The pair is mainly driven by the news from the USD side.

Technical tips

EUR/USD is trading above the 50, 100, and 200 moving averages. Thus, the impetus stays to the upside. The RSI indicator is below 70, that means the pair isn’t overbought yet. If EUR/USD breaks out the resistance at 1.1900, it will surge higher to the key psychological mark at 1.2000. Otherwise, it may meet the support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.1820. The move below this level will push the price to the next support at 1.1740.

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen

Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
