13.10.202205:16 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for EUR/USD on October 13, 2022

Yesterday's publication of the minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting showed a rather hawkish mood of the members of the monetary policy committee, but the markets practically did not react to it, if we do not take into account a brief revival at the time of the immediate release.

Today the focus will be on US inflation data for September. Core CPI is projected to rise from 6.3% y/y to 6.5% y/y, headline CPI is expected to decline to 8.1% y/y from 8.3% y/y in August. If we add to these mixed forecasts the expected increase in initial jobless claims, which is expected to increase from 219,000 to 225,000, that is, with a jump above the one and a half month data, then preferences for long positions on the dollar will prevail.

The price is still consolidating below the 0.9724 level on the daily chart. The Marlin Oscillator is growing, so it is undesirable for the bears to delay pushing through the euro, as the bulls can become more active and consolidate above the specified key level. And the 0.9855 target opens above it. The main scenario assumes a decline to support 0.9520.

On the four-hour chart, the price is generally consolidating under the MACD indicator line. The Marlin Oscillator shows the intention to reverse down from the zero line. We are waiting for the price in the target range of 0.9520/54.
