On Monday’s trading session, the EUR/USD currency pair did very little, and there is a lot of hesitation around the 50-Day EMA. This Forex indicator is flattening out, and it remains to be seen whether it’s going to offer support or if it’s going to be ignored. The 1.06 level underneath it is a significant and psychologically important figure, and it’s also the 38.2% Fibonacci level from the bigger downtrend. Although the Euro has blown through it and pulled back to the 50% Fibonacci level, these levels often offer small bumps along the way. The 200-Day EMA sitting underneath also comes into the picture.

It’s worth noting that the Friday candlestick was a hammer, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to hold. It just shows that there was a bit of a reaction to that area. Traders should keep in mind that there is a potential support level down to the 1.05 level, which happens to be where the 200-Day EMA resides. Anything below that level then opens up the possibility of a much lower move, perhaps down to the parity level over the longer term.

The Economic Situation Plays Its Role

• While the European Central Bank continues to espouse that it’s going to be raising interest rates, the expectations for tighter financial conditions in the United States going forward has found itself back into the psyche of the market again.
• Therefore, it makes sense that the greenback continues to strengthen, especially against the Euro.
• The economic situation in the European Union is much weaker than the United States.

In summary, the Euro did very little on Monday’s trading session, and there is a lot of hesitation around the 50-Day EMA. The 1.06 level is a significant and psychologically important figure that the Euro has blown through, but it may offer small bumps along the way. Traders should keep in mind the potential support level down to the 1.05 level, which is where the 200-Day EMA resides. If the Euro moves below that level, it opens up the possibility of a much lower move. The greenback continues to strengthen against the Euro, given the expectations for tighter financial conditions in the United States going forward. Traders should monitor these levels and events to make informed trading decisions.
