• The ECB left interest rates unchanged as expected as the central bank has ended its tightening cycle.
• President Lagarde highlighted the weakness in the Eurozone economy and reaffirmed that rates will make a substantial contribution to curbing inflation.
• The recent Eurozone CPI missed expectations on the headline figures but the Core measure remained unchanged. This is unlikely to change the ECB’s stance anyway.

• The recent Eurozone PMIs missed across the board as the economy continues to struggle.
• The market doesn’t expect the ECB to hike anymore.

EURUSD Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe

On the daily chart, we can see that EURUSD got rejected from the resistance around the 1.0760 where we have also the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level for confluence. The pair maintains the bullish bias as the price continues to print higher highs and higher lows with the moving averages being crossed to the upside. The buyers will need to break above the resistance to start targeting the 1.0950 level.

EURUSD Technical Analysis – 4 hour Timeframe

On the 4 hour chart, we can see that the pair is consolidating in a descending triangle pattern defined by the support zone around the 1.0660 level and the counter-trendline. If we see a break above the trendline, the buyers should increase the bullish bets into the resistance. On the other hand, if we see a break to the downside, the sellers are likely to pile in with more conviction to target the lows around the 1.05 handle.

EURUSD Technical Analysis – 1 hour Timeframe

On the 1 hour chart, we can see more closely the price action around the trendline of the triangle. The price has been forming what looks like a bullish flag right at the counter-trendline. This might be a sign that we could see a more sustained move to the upside. The first target for the rally should be the swing high at the 1.0725 level, with an extension into the 1.0760 level being likely upon further breakout.
