Weekly review of EUR/USD for July 22, 2023

Weekly review :

Bullish outlook:

The EUR/USD pair broke resistance which turned to strong support at the level of 1.1141. The level of 1.1141 coincides with 61.8% of Fibonacci, which is expected to act as major support. Since the trend is above the 61.8% Fibonacci level, the market is still in an uptrend. From this point, the EUR/USD pair is continuing in a bullish trend from the new support of 1.1141.

The RSI starts signaling an upward trend, as the trend is still showing strength above the moving average (100) and (50). Thus, the market is indicating a bullish opportunity below 1.1141. Currently, the price is in a bullish channel. According to the previous events, we expect the EUR/USD pair to move between 1.1141 and 1.1300.

On the H1 chart, resistance is seen at the levels of 1.1250 and 1.1300. Also, it should be noticed that, the level of 1.1141 represents the daily pivot point. Therefore, strong support will be formed at the level of 1.1141 providing a clear signal to buy with the targets seen at 1.1250.

If the trend breaks the support at 1.1241 (first resistance) the pair will move upwards continuing the development of the bullish trend to the level 1.1300 in order to test the daily resistance 2. However, stop loss is to be placed below the level of 1.1141.

Bearish outlook:

On the downside, 1.1189 (20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), psychological level) aligns as first support ahead of 1.1189 (upper-limit of the ascending regression channel). Close below the latter could open the door for an extended slide toward 1.1000 (1 USD)(psychological level, mid-point of the ascending channel).

In the Eurozone, inflation has decreased to a half year low of 4% in July, but the core rate remained significantly above the ECB's target of 1%. Currently, interest rates in the bloc stand at 2%. However, pricing in derivatives markets suggests that traders anticipate rates peaking at just below 43% by year-end. The EUR/USD pair develops far above all its moving averages, with the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) accelerating north above the longer ones.

The mentioned SMA stands below the 1.1000 threshold, reflecting buyers' strength. At the same time, the Momentum indicator turned marginally lower but remains well above its midline, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator consolidates around 50. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the one-hour chart stays in the overbought territory above 50 for the third straight trading day on Monday, suggesting that the pair could struggle to gather bullish momentum. The EUR/USD pair rose from the level of 1.1189 to top at 1.1248.

The EUR/USD pair has faced strong support at the level of 1.1189. So, the strong support has been already faced at the level of 1.1189 and the pair is likely to try to approach it in order to test it again and form a double bottom. Hence, the EUR/USD pair is continuing to trade in a bullish trend from the new support level of 1.1189; to form a bullish channel.

According to the previous events, we expect the pair to move between 1.1189 and 1.1354. Also, it should be noted major resistance is seen at 1.1354, while immediate resistance is found at 1.1300. Then, we may anticipate potential testing of 1.1354 to take place soon.

Moreover, if the pair succeeds in passing through the level of 1.1248 , the market will indicate a bullish opportunity above the level of 1.1248. A breakout of that target will move the pair further upwards to 1.1354. On the other hand, if the EUR/USD pair fails to break out through the support level of 1.1145; the market will decline further to the level of 1.1000 (daily support 2).
