Despite a release of various macroeconomic data yesterday, including the Euro Zone CPI and CB Consumer Confidence, the pair did not make any sharp moves and continued to move horizontally between the 100- and 55-hour SMAs.  

Such indifference nicely illustrates how traders are anticipating the upcoming FOMC Monetary Policy Statement and appointment of the new Fed Chair by President Trump. 

Given that yesterday's information appeared to be better than expected plus general consensus that today's meeting will not bring any unexpected news suggests that the pair is likely to continue moving horizontally between the 1.1658 and 1.1625 levels with a tendency to stick to the southern direction. 

A major breakout to the top also looks unlikely because that side contains multiple barriers, such as the monthly and weekly PP or the 100% retracement level and 200-hour SMA.
