Dollar Strengthens, Euro Faces Further Downside

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the EURUSD for JAN 3, 2025.

Fundamental Analysis EURUSD Key Takeaways 

Differential drives the US dollar: the European Central Bank will cut interest rates sharply in 2025. The market has priced in at least four 25 basis point interest rate cuts, and there is still uncertainty in the market as to whether the Federal Reserve will make two similar interest rate cuts. The US dollar index touched the 109 mark upward, continuing to hit a new high since November 2022. 

ECB Governing Council member Stournaras: The European Central Bank’s interest rate is expected to be lowered to 2% by the fall of this year. The US benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.5680%; the two-year Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 4.2620%. 

 

Technical Analysis EURUSD Daily Chart Insights

Stochastic oscillator: The indicator sent out a short signal again before reaching the 50 median line, suggesting that the current short force has the upper hand, and traders should pay attention to short opportunities. 

Market structure SHIFT: EUR/USD fell rapidly yesterday, and the final closing price closed below the long-short conversion line of 1.03403. The strong downward trend indicates that there is a high probability of a correction in today’s Asian session, and then the downward trend will continue. 

 

EURUSD 1-hour Chart Analysis 

(EURUSD H1 Price Chart, Source: Ultima Markets MT4) 

Stochastic oscillator: The indicator sent out a bullish signal during the US trading session yesterday. Today, the indicator will most likely continue the upward trend during the Asian trading session. Pay attention to the exchange rate performance when the indicator is near the 50 median line. 

KEY resistance above: The EUR/USD price is about to approach the purple 13-period MA. Since the MA is inside the fair value gap, the first target of the exchange rate rebound is more likely to look at the upper edge of the fair value gap, and the second target is near the opening price of the order block of 1.03162.
