EUR/USD Price Analysis: Do not rule out a move to 1.16 just yet

  • EUR/USD extends the downside to the vicinity of 1.1700.
  • Bets for a deeper retracement below 1.17 keep rising.

EUR/USD navigates the area of fresh multi-day lows in the 1.1700 neighbourhood on the back of the prevailing risk aversion atmosphere.

The continuation of the downtrend seems likely in the very near-term. A breach of the key contention area in the 1.1700/1.1685 area could pave the way for a retracement to the September’s low at 1.1612.

Looking at the broader scenario, the bullish view on EUR/USD is expected to remain unchanged as long as the pair trades above the critical 200-day SMA, today at 1.1310.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
