Euro strength endures as Fed outlook caps dollar rebound

EUR/USD was largely unaffected ahead of the upcoming release of the Federal Reserve's minutes, as trading volume slowed with the New Year holiday approaching. The broader bullish outlook for the euro vs dollar persisted, supported by market expectations for further Federal Reserve rate cuts which kept the US Dollar subdued. Recent US data showed a 3.3% rise in Pending Home Sales for November, its strongest level in three years, though this had little impact on the currency pair. Market participants continued to monitor ongoing US monetary policy and geopolitical developments.

Mixed momentum signals as daily buyer bias meets oversold RSI

Momentum is mixed: the D1 MACD and ADX suggest underlying buyer momentum, but the Stochastic RSI flags oversold conditions and the CCI remains neutral. Bull/Bear Power points to buyer dominance on the daily chart. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not offer a trend confirmation. The closest dynamic support is the Ichimoku Kijun at $1.1713, while the MA-50 at $1.1660 and the next round level at $1.1750 serve as nearby resistance.

Upside favored within defined range as volatility stays muted

For the coming week, the expected price range is adjusted to $1.1710–$1.1775, keeping within a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a price increase is high (more than 80%) given strong readings on the weekly MACD, RSI, ADX, and long-term moving averages, so a decrease is less likely. Baseline scenario: the pair consolidates between $1.1710 and $1.1775 amid low volatility. A sustained move above $1.1752 could drive a test of $1.1775 or higher, while a slip below $1.1710 would expose the next real support closer to $1.1660.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees the euro holding a bullish stance against the US dollar, supported by expectations of further Fed rate cuts and steady macroeconomic momentum in Europe. Market sentiment is constructive, with technical and fundamental backdrops aligning for consolidation near recent highs, even as short-term momentum shows mixed signals. He believes that as long as EUR/USD remains above $1.1710, the underlying trend is intact. "Persistent optimism about eurozone fundamentals and US policy signals keeps my bias constructive — any sustained move above $1.1752 should open a path toward $1.1775 or higher."

Previously it was reported that EUR/USD is trading above key moving averages, confirming a bullish trend across all timeframes, with upward momentum supported by positive MACD, ADX, and other indicators. Despite mixed signals from oscillators and very low volatility, the pair is expected to consolidate sideways with a mild upward bias, with near-term support at $1.1713 and resistance near $1.1855.
