EUR/USD daily chart
The shared currency, on the daily chart, is trading in a downtrend below the 200-day simple moving average (DMA). However, at the start of December, the market had a strong bullish reversal. The market has been in a tight correction since then. Earlier in the New York session, the Consumer Price Index ex Food & Energy (YoY) came in line with expectations at 2.3% in November. However, investors are waiting for the FOMC at 19:00 GMT and the press conference at 19:30 GMT.
EUR/USD four-hour chart
EUR/USD is challenging the 1.1100 resistance while trading above the main SMAs on the four-hour chart. EUR/USD stays choppy ahead of the FOMC as the market remains confined in a tight range. Buyers would need a daily close above the 1.1100/1.1119 resistance zone to generate more buying pressure, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
