Banxico holds rate cut as inflation-driven peso pressure persists

Annual inflation in Mexico accelerated to 3.62% in the first half of October, surpassing expectations and reducing the probability of an imminent rate cut by Banco de México, according to Bloomberg on October 22, 2026. The resulting shift in monetary policy outlook highlights persistent price pressures and a more cautious stance from Banxico policymakers. Despite these inflation-driven adjustments that would normally support the Mexican Peso, the currency has continued to face pressure in recent trading.

Bearish signals dominate as pair tests key resistance levels

Technically, EUR/MXN is trading below the MA-20 at Mex$20.9726 and MA-50 at Mex$21.0037 on the hourly chart, indicating short- and medium-term resistance at those levels, while remaining above the long-term MA-200 at Mex$20.1542. The Ichimoku Kijun is acting as immediate resistance at Mex$20.9637. Indicator signals are mostly negative: MACD and ADX point to a sell bias, RSI reads 36.6, and both Stochastic RSI and CCI are at oversold levels. Bull/Bear Power supports the case for seller dominance, while the Awesome Oscillator is currently neutral.

Downside bias prevails amid rising risk of volatility breakout

In the near term, EUR/MXN is likely to trade within the Mex$20.7696 to Mex$20.9964 range based on recent volatility. There is a 64% probability of a downward break, while a move above Mex$20.9637 could trigger a rebound. If neither support nor resistance is breached, expect choppy sideways action within this volatility band.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes the recent uptick in Mexican inflation could reinforce support for the Peso by reducing expectations of near-term Banxico easing. However, EUR/MXN remains technically pressured, trading below key moving averages and signaling persistent seller dominance. Macro data offers a constructive backdrop, but price action is still weak. Karapetjanc notes the potential for a rebound if resistance is broken, but sellers have the advantage for now. "If EUR/MXN fails to reclaim Mex$20.9637 soon, the next move is likely down, but any break higher could trigger quick upside."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/MXN faced a tug-of-war between bullish momentum and overbought conditions, contributing to uncertainty around its near-term direction. The current technical and macroeconomic setup signals a shift toward downside risk, with renewed attention on whether the pair can hold above its longer-term trend support near Mex$20.1542 in the sessions ahead.
