EUR/USD holds its upward momentum – Targeting the 1.1700 zoneLooking at the EUR/USD daily chart, the pair continues to maintain a solid medium-term uptrend. Currently, price action is consolidating around 1.1650 – 1.1670, trading above the Ichimoku cloud and resting on a cluster of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), signaling that bullish pressure remains intact.
If EUR/USD sustains this range, the pair is likely to retest the 1.1700 level — a key short-term resistance and a strong psychological barrier. A successful breakout here could pave the way towards the 1.1760 – 1.1800 area.
On the macro side, investors are closely watching developments at the Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to provide policy guidance. Expectations for a Fed rate cut in September remain elevated — a factor that supports the euro as the USD shows signs of weakening (Reuters).
Additionally, recent progress in U.S.-EU trade negotiations has lifted sentiment, as import tariffs were revised from 30% down to 15%, easing market uncertainty and further supporting the euro.
Wishing you all a profitable trading week ahead.
