Morgan Stanley analysts point to two reasons for the rising of the euro. First, last year foreign investors have cut the rate of currency hedging in debt instruments in euros, reinforcing the upward pressure on the currency. Second, over the past few months accelerate the process of diversification of foreign exchange reserves in favor of the euro.
Forex strategists at Barclays Capital noted that the decline in EUR/USD in the 1.1145 area would strengthen the bearish forecast for the pair as the next target is the area around 1.1055.

EUR/USD finally bounced off 1.1150, but it also formed a shooting star candlestick on the four-hour time-frame, so it might start falling again.
Let's see if 1.1200 level holds, Yellen's speech is due to tomorrow.

The EURUSD had a bearish momentum last week. Price slipped above the trend line resistance but closed back below the trend line resistance created a false breakout bearish scenario as you can see on my H1 chart below. The bias remains bearish in nearest term testing 1.1100 – 1.1065 region. Immediate resistance is seen around 1.1220. A clear break above that area could lead price to neutral zone in nearest term retesting the trend line resistance and 1.1280 – 1.1300 region

The EUR/USD is trading higher today due to support level reached yesterday. The pair made a high of 1.1225 and is currently trading at 1.1215. Please be aware that we have important statement from FED's Chairman Janet Yellen in less than a couple of hours.

EUR/USD is currently testing 1.1170 again, but it likely won't have a clear direction before Yellen's speech.
The euro recorded a second consecutive increase against the dollar on Tuesday. The growth of the single currency was significant and came suddenly before the end of the session. As a result, resistance at 1.1244 has been overcome. If the bullish trend continue in the future, the pair will test the key level at 1.1343.

Yesterday the FED chair Yellen appeared at a conference in New York where she held a speech. The market was expecting her to drop some of the bearish comments that she made in the FOMC statement two weeks ago, but she stuck to them.
Basically the second wave of USD is happening now

EUR/USD bounced off the resistance at 1.1370, but I think it will reach at least 1.1400 eventually.
The single currency rose sharply against the US dollar on Tuesday after Janet Yellen declared that the US central bank should be careful in the coming increases in interest rates in the country.
On Wednesday, the Chicago Fed President Charles Evans supported the position of the head of the US central bank's Janet Yellen and suggested that a raise of the rate at the April meeting is less possible.
In an interview with CNBC Chicago Fed president added that he would be surprised if all the conditions for the raise of the rate will be executed until the next meeting in April, although he noted that the rise could happen in June, when the labor market will continue to strengthen.
