ECB rate hike amid inflation and geopolitical risk concerns

The European Central Bank has implemented its first interest rate increase since September 2023, raising borrowing costs by 0.25 percentage points and tightening euro liquidity. This policy move comes in response to continued inflationary pressure, with euro area consumer prices registering a 3.2% annual rise in May. The ECB also cited ongoing geopolitical uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict as a factor adding to price and economic risks in the eurozone.

Bearish momentum persists as resistance and indicator signals diverge

On the technical front, EUR/COP is trading below the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200 across key timeframes. Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun level at COL$4,070.76. Momentum indicators signal bearish positioning, with the MACD in strong sell mode and ADX highlighting continued downward momentum. RSI is at 44.03, reflecting selling pressure, while Stoch RSI and BBP both indicate overbought conditions, creating some divergence versus price action. The CCI and Awesome Oscillator remain neutral, suggesting a lack of directional conviction from broader sentiment measures.

Sideways trading favored as breakout risk remains limited

Over the next two to three days, EUR/COP is expected to trade within a range of COL$3,998.38 to COL$4,065.78, as defined by recent volatility. The probability of an upward move is estimated at 28%, with the base case scenario favoring sideways activity near current levels. A bullish resolution would require a decisive breakout above the COL$4,070.76 resistance, while any breach below support could trigger further downside acceleration.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees the current EUR/COP trend as a reflection of both macro pressures and shifting sentiment. He believes the ECB’s rate hike and ongoing inflation support a fundamentally stronger euro in the medium term. However, technicals and risk appetite currently favor the peso. Momentum remains tilted to the downside unless the pair breaks above COL$4,070.76. "A recovery needs clear bullish signals, but I’m constructive if EUR/COP reclaims key resistance with support from eurozone fundamentals."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/COP remained locked in a persistent bearish trend, with sellers maintaining control across major timeframes. The current environment not only reaffirms this sustained downward pressure but also introduces heightened event risk tied to recent ECB policy moves, making the COL$4,070.76 resistance a critical level traders should monitor for any potential shift in momentum.
