Prior to the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates, the EUR/USD reached below the 1.0400 mark. The press conference held by the Fed caused a surge, as Jerome Powell made initially reassuring comments.

However, by the middle of Thursday's trading, the pair was once again below the 1.0400 level. Moreover, the pair was ignoring the support and resistance of the rate and the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages near 1.0430 and 1.0450.
