EUR/USD: Key Supply Zones to Watch for Potential Reversals

20 באוג׳

The EUR/USD pair has extended its upward momentum, reaching new highs for 2024, currently hovering around 1.1077 as I write this. This surge is largely attributed to the persistent weakness in the US Dollar (USD), which has been on the back foot in recent sessions.

Expectations around the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) release have shifted market sentiment. While there was initial speculation of a half-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month, the chances of such a significant cut have diminished. Instead, a more modest rate reduction now seems more likely, especially in light of better-than-anticipated outcomes from other critical US economic indicators.

Looking forward, the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes is anticipated to be the key event this week. However, market participants will also keep a close eye on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the testimony of Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda before Parliament. These events could offer further insights into the future direction of monetary policies, influencing the USD and, by extension, the EUR/USD pair.

From a technical perspective, the EUR/USD has approached a critical Supply area, where we observe a significant concentration of retail traders maintaining long positions, while commercial players have reduced their exposure. Given the current sideways market conditions, this Supply zone could be pivotal. A reversal may occur here, leading to a potential decline in the pair. However, if the price does not reverse at this level, the next key Supply area to watch would be around 1.1175. This level could become the next focal point for traders looking to identify potential turning points in the market.
