EUR/USD analysis for 13/12/2017:
The FOMC Interest Rate Decision, Monetary Policy Statement and Economic Projections are all scheduled at 07:00 pm GMT. The FOMC Press Conference is scheduled at 07:30 pm GMT. The market participants expect an interest rate hike from 1.25% to 1.50%. However, the market will be more interested in the prospects for monetary policy for the future. Economists expect the Fed will remain optimistic with hopes for inflation acceleration and a favorable impact of fiscal policy, maintaining the forecast of three hikes in 2018. However, this may not be enough to overcome investors' skepticism and give a strong boost to the USD.
Let's now take a look at the EUR/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The key support zone is still the 61% Fibo support at 1.1706 and technical support at 1.1725. Any violation of this level would lead to a test of the next technical support at the level of 1.1622. On the other hand, the key technical resistance remains at the level of 1.1807. Please notice a growing bearish divergence between the price and the momentum indicator.
Market Snapshot: Gold breaks even lower
The price of Gold has broken below the level of $1,243 and made a new local low just above the technical support at the level of $1,235. The price is clearly diverging from the diminishing momentum and the market conditions are oversold, so the bounce towards the level of $1,251 is expected next.
Market Snapshot: DXY locked in consolidation zone
The price of US Dollar Index (DXY) remains locked in a consolidation zone between the levels of 93.89 - 94.26 as it awaits the Fed interest rate decision. The price is diverging from the momentum indicator, so any breakout to the downside will result in a possible test of the technical support at the level of 93.51 or below.
