EUR/USD Price Analysis: Extra gains need to clear 1.0370/80

  • EUR/USD corrects lower and tumbles to 1.0270.
  • Further upside is expected beyond 1.0370/80.

EUR/USD comes under pressure and breaks below 1.0300 after four daily gains in a row on Friday.

Despite the knee-jerk, the continuation of the uptrend looks favoured in the very short term. That said, the pair needs to clear the August high at 1.0368 (August 10) as well as the 6-month resistance line around 1.0380 to open the door to a probable move to the 100-day SMA, today at 1.0522.

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view is expected to prevail as long as it trades below the 200-day SMA at 1.0894.

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.
