EUR/USD Technical Analysis: EUR/USD mixed reaction post-FOMC – Trading sub-1.1600

  • EUR/USD bear trend is on hold for the 6th consecutive day and the FOMC minutes did nothing convincing to tame the current buying pressure as EUR/USD jumped about pips on the release of the Fed’s report. The gains were short-lived as the market quickly came back to levels just prior to the release.  
  • EUR/USD bull trend remains in place as the market is trading above rising and widening 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages. The real challenge for bulls is to breakout above 1.1628 swing high as this would mean a higher high on the daily chart. A break of the level would target 1.1667 August 2 high and 1.1750 supply level.
  • A bear breakout below 1.1500 would invalidate the bullish bias.
