EURUSD Technical Analysis – The greenback lost the support from tariffs fears

Fundamental Overview

Yesterday, the US PPI report came in higher than expected but the focus was on the details that feed into the Core PCE index, which is what the Fed focuses on. Those details were all very soft and helped to bring the early estimates down to more benign levels. In fact, the Core PCE Y/Y is now projected to fall to 2.6% vs. 2.8% prior. That’s good news for the Fed.

The US Dollar fell across the board as a result and eventually the bearish momentum increased substantially in the evening as the Trump’s tariffs saga came to an end. In fact, the US President announced his reciprocal tariffs that could go into effect in April but the overall tone of it wasn’t aggressive and sounded a lot like the start of a negotiating process to bring tariffs to a fair level for everyone.

On the EUR side, it’s been all about the US Dollar softness and with the markets now less concerned about tariffs, the other major currencies got the green light to appreciate against the greenback.

On the Eurozone side, the news of a peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine war continue to gather momentum with a very positive call recently between Trump and Putin where the US President got even invited in Moscow. A peace deal will be positive for the economy all else being equal.

EURUSD Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe

On the daily chart, we can see that the EURUSD broke above the key resistance around the 1.0447 level. The buyers piled in to position for a rally into the next resistance around the 1.0523 level. That’s where we can expect the sellers to step in with a defined risk above it to target a pullback into the 1.0447 level.

EURUSD Technical Analysis – 4 hour Timeframe

On the 4 hour chart, we can see more clearly the recent price action with the USD losing ground first on the benign US PPI and later on the Trump’s reciprocal tariffs announcement. If we retest the 1.0447 level, we can expect the buyers to step in with a defined risk below the level to position for the rally into the 1.0532 level next. The sellers, on the other hand, will look for a break lower to extend the pullback into the 1.0350 level.

EURUSD Technical Analysis – 1 hour Timeframe

On the 1 hour chart, we can see that we have now an upward trendline defining the bullish momentum. If we get a pullback into it, we can expect the buyers to lean on the trendline to push into further highs, while the sellers will look for a break lower to increase the bearish bets into the 1.0350 level. The red lines define the average daily range for today.
