Fundamental analysis

The euro continued its decline to 1.1400, its lowest level since mid-June, under pressure from a strengthening US dollar. Investors increased their dollar purchases in response to the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy decision. The Fed left the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.5%, as expected.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell noted that no decisions have yet been made for September, but markets continue to expect a rate cut. Meanwhile, fresh eurozone GDP figures revealed that the region’s economy grew by only 0.1% in Q2, sharply down from 0.6% in Q1.

EURUSD technical analysis

On the H4 chart, the EURUSD pair is moving downwards, falling to the 1.1400 area. The daily trend remains bearish, although a correction now appears due after the recent drop. After a brief pullback, the decline may resume.

The short-term EURUSD forecast suggests a renewed decline to 1.1400 if the bears keep the price below 1.1500. If the bulls push the pair back above 1.1500, a move higher towards the 1.1550 resistance level may follow.

Summary

The EURUSD price dipped to the 1.1400 area after the Federal Reserve held its rate steady and following weak eurozone GDP growth in Q2. On Friday, markets will focus on US labour market statistics.
