EURUSD eyes test of 1.02, the ECB meeting may be of help
Massive repricing of Fed rate path in 2023 saw dollar index falling to 110 points, EURUSD broke above parity while GBPUSD recovered above 1.15. The rally in the US market increased capitalization of key equity indices by an average of 1.6%. Investors also increased exposure to crypto assets, BTC price rose above 20K.
Rally of risk assets, barring a clear dovish shift in central bank policy stance, is difficult to consider as a sustainable, especially when the Fed acknowledges that the margin of patience for weak incoming data on the economy is quite large, so some market participants have decided to take profits today. European stock indices corrected lower today, futures for US stock indices also pulled back. S&P 500 futures gravitate towards 3800, but it is clear that a shift in market consensus regarding interest rate path will await confirmation/denial by the FOMC in November, so buying pressure at the dips near key round levels is very likely.
EURUSD has finally begun to respond to lower gas prices and improved positions in foreign trade. The pair returned to levels above parity, but a more important signal (in terms of technical analysis) was breakout of the bearish channel, which held the pair in the downside since the start of 2022:
The signal for upside is quite clear, in this regard, the ECB meeting tomorrow is of particular importance. The regulator is expected to raise the rate by 75 basis points and update forecasts for the further rate trajectory, guidance on preferential liquidity for banks (TLTRO) and less important technical policy adjustments. Judging by the technical picture of EURUSD, there is a growing possibility that the decision tomorrow will be positive for the Euro and the pair will be able to develop an upward momentum and test the resistance at 1.02.
