Support was found in the weekly simple pivot point at 1.0592 on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, additional pressure was provided by the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages. By mid-Tuesday's European trading, the rate had reached above the 1.0640 level and the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 1.0662.

Economic Calendar Analysis



This week most events will be ignored due to a simple reason. The US central bank, The Federal Reserve is scheduled to make a rate announcement on Wednesday at 18:00 GMT. The Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 5.50%.

Afterwards, note the 18:30 GMT press conference of the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powel. His comments always cause major volatility and quite often reverse the initial market reaction to the publication of the USD base interest rate.

Next resistance for the pair is set to be encountered near the 1.0700 mark. This level reversed the pair's last week attempt to surge.

Meanwhile, a decline of the EUR/USD is expected to look for support in the 1.0640 and 1.0620 levels, before approaching the combination of the weekly simple pivot point and the three hourly moving averages near 1.0590.
