EUR/USD Analysis

The price had been falling from resistance at 1.1053 already before the FOMC announcement which initially created some volatility before strengthening the USD further and sending this pair down, although in the past few hours the price has made a V shape and started recovering.

The chart shows that the push down following the FOMC volatility came from the 1.0950 – 1.1000 area and so we might expect this zone to again be resistive, although it is not formally marked as such on the chart.

The support at 1.0800 looks solid if we should return there.

EURUSD

Regarding the EUR, there will be a release of German IFO Business Climate data at 9am London time. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm.
