Wednesday's FOMC announcements and Press Conference caused a surge of the EUR/USD currency exchange rate to the 1.1140 level.

In the near term future, the rate was expected to consolidate by trading sideways or declining to the support of the pivot point at 1.1118.

EUR/USD hourly chart's review

On Wednesday, the EUR/USD currency pair skyrocketed to the monthly R1 at 1.1138. During today's morning, the pair reversed south.

It is likely that some downside potential could prevail in the market, and the exchange rate could decline to the support formed by the 55-, 100– and 200-hour SMAs, currently located in the 1.1082/1.1101 area.

However, note that the currency pair could gain support of the weekly R1 at the 1.1118 mark. If the given support level holds, the Euro could consolidate against the US Dollar in the short run.

Hourly Chart



On the daily candle chart, the rate was approaching the resistance of the 200-day simple moving average. The SMA on Thursday was located at the 1.1157 level. In the near term future, the resistance level was expected to reach the 1.1150 mark.
