Current support levels near the 82.6500 to 82.6000 ratios should be watched carefully. Volatility and reversals will erupt during the U.S central bank’s actions later today.

However, this would likely mean the U.S Federal Reserve has stated that it intends on slowing the pace of its interest rate hikes.
