EUR/USD Technical Analysis: EUR/USD falls below 1.1700 post-ECB press conference

  • EUR/USD has been driven to its daily lows during and  after the European Central Bank (ECB) press conference. Mario Draghi, the ECB’s President sees no need to modify guidance on rates. Additionally, there is no change in outlook for inflation and growth and no new monetary policy message.
  • EUR/USD is currently trading just above 1.1672 support. The recent drop hasn’t broken below Wednesday’s lows or any significant support that would put the current bull leg in peril. On that basis, sideways to up price action can be expected after the ECB-driven 50-pip move down. Bulls will need to regain 1.1700 while bears will try to break below 1.1672.
