Policy tightening as ECB reacts to persistent inflation pressure

The European Central Bank raised its three key interest rates by 25 basis points on June 11, 2026, after euro area inflation reached 3.2% in May, according to Cryptobriefing. This action reflects the ECB's response to persistent inflation, driven in part by a notable surge in regional energy prices. President Christine Lagarde’s stated commitment to deploying conventional monetary policy tools underscores the bank’s focus on bringing inflation back toward its target and shapes expectations for future policy moves.

Mixed momentum as technical indicators highlight range-bound risk

On the hourly chart, EUR/UAH is below the 20- and 50-period moving averages, with the nearest resistance identified at the Ichimoku Kijun level of ₴51.1941. Daily support rests at the 200-period moving average. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 44.94 and signals a sell, while the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is in oversold territory. Momentum signals are mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) points to a sell bias, the Average Directional Index (ADX) is neutral, and the Stochastic RSI presents a buy signal. Bull/Bear Power readings indicate some intraday buyer activity, yet overall oscillator divergence points to prevailing uncertainty.

Rangebound scenario likely as breakout requires decisive move

Looking ahead to the next two or three sessions, EUR/UAH is projected to trade within a range of ₴50.7888 to ₴51.2992, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The baseline scenario expects the pair to remain rangebound between immediate support and resistance. A clear bullish impulse requires a sustained breakout above the Ichimoku Kijun and the cluster of the short- and medium-term moving averages, while a bearish scenario could unfold if price breaches daily support at the long-term moving average.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees EUR/UAH staying rangebound as cautious sentiment dominates. He notes the ECB rate hike offers modest support for the euro, but price action remains below key moving averages and technical indicators signal uncertain momentum. The analyst highlights that no clear breakout or breakdown has emerged, so risk remains tilted to both sides. "Until ₴51.1941 is broken to the upside or daily support fails, I stay defensive and favor watching key levels for confirmation."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/UAH faced sustained bearish pressure amid broadly cautious sentiment. The current mix of central bank policy shifts and technical uncertainty adds a new dimension to the outlook, with traders advised to watch for a decisive move above the Ichimoku Kijun or a break below daily support to signal directional bias in the coming sessions.
